Manage Microsoft Store apps with Powershell

Question

_{Friday, August 9, 2019 11:09 AM}

Hello,
first of all we have searched for a long time, but unfortunately we did't find a solution.

Is there a way to control the local Mircosoft store with Powershell to install apps?

With the commands:

Add-AppxPackage
Install-PackageProvider 
we didn't succeed in accessing the Microsoft Apps store to install online packages.

Hi Ma_101010.

As far as I know, this is not possible: You cannot sideload an app that has been downloaded from the Microsoft Apps Store. To install Microsoft Store apps that are not part of your business line, you must use the Microsoft Apps Store.
Take a read at https://github.com/Microsoft/windows-dev-box-setup-scripts/issues/30 too.

Bye.

No.

You cannot sideload an app that has been downloaded from the Windows Store. To install Windows Store apps that are not part of your business line, you must use the Windows Store.

If you want to install Store app with powershell, you need to have corresponding .appx package.
