Windows 10: Microsoft Store Install via PowerShell fails

I need to reinstall the MS Store.

using the PowerShell command I get:


Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF0, Package could not be opened.

error 0x80070003: Opening file from location: AppxBundleManifest.xml failed with error: The system cannot find the

path specified.

.

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] ba01e569-d24d-0003-890b-02ba4dd2d601 in the Event Log or use

the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID ba01e569-d24d-0003-890b-02ba4dd2d601

At line:1 char:53

+ ... Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.I ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: C:\Program File...ppXManifest.xml:String [Add-AppxPackage], FileNotFoundExc

eption

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand


Any thoughts on where to go from here?

Re-Installing the Microsoft Store

Hi Wisedred,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In this scenario we would suggest you to perform these steps to Reinstall and Re-Register all Windows apps for all accounts.

1. Press Windows + X key and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Copy and paste this command, then press enter:
   Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   
3. Close the PowerShell command and restart the PC.
   
4. Open Microsoft Store and install the game.

If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check if you are able to open Microsoft Store and then install the game, refer this article to

Windows 10 Store fails with 0x80073CF9

Hi Aren,

It is possible that the Microsoft Store components are corrupted that's why you can't install or update apps. Since you have done some troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you reset the Microsoft Store. See steps below:

• Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
• Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
• The Store and a command prompt will now open without any message. The command prompt will automatically close when the Store cache has been reset.

If issue still persists, you can also reinstall Store using Windows PowerShell. See steps below:

• Open Windows PowerShell with admin rights. On the search bar, type Windows PowerShell. Right-click on the Windows PowerShell entry in the result and then click
  Run as administrator.
• In the PowerShell, copy and paste the following command and then press Enter to execute it.
  
  Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
• Once done, try to open Store and install apps.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
