Description

The Add-AppxPackage cmdlet adds a signed app package to a user account. An app package has an .msix or .appx filename extension. Use the DependencyPath parameter to add all other packages required for the installation of the app package.

You can use the Register parameter to install from a folder of unpackaged files during development of Windows Store apps.

To update an already installed package, the new package must have the same package family name.

Examples

Example 1: Add an app package

Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\MyApp.msix' -DependencyPath '.\winjs.msix'

This command adds an app package that the package contains.

Example 2: Update an app, but defer registration until the app has closed

$params = @{
    Path = '.\MyApp.msix' 
    DependencyPath = '.\winjs.msix'
    DeferRegistrationWhenPackagesAreInUse = $true
}
Add-AppxPackage @params

This command will register an update to an existing app, but won't do so until the next launch of the app.

Example 3: Add a disabled app package in development mode

$InstallLocation = Get-AppxPackage -Name '*WindowsCalculator*' |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty InstallLocation
$ManifestPath = $InstallLocation + '\Appxmanifest.xml'
Add-AppxPackage -Path $ManifestPath -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode

This command gets the full path of the package manifest file of an installed Windows Store app, and then registers that package. You can use DisableDevelopmentMode to register an application that's staged by the StagePackageAsync API, has been disabled, or has become corrupted during testing.

Example 4: Add an app along with its optional packages

Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\MyApp.msixbundle' -ExternalPackages @(
    '.\optionalpackage1.msix'
    '.\optionalpackage2.msixbundle'
)

Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\MyApp.msixbundle' -OptionalPackages '29270sandstorm.OptionalPackage1_gah1vdar1nn7a'

This command adds an app package along with its optional packages. It's an atomic operation, which means that if the app or its optional packages fail to install, the deployment operation will be aborted

Example 5: Install only the required section of a streaming app

Add-AppxPackage -Path '.\MyApp.msixbundle' -RequiredContentGroupOnly

This command adds an app package but only installs the required section of a streaming app. Calling this command again without the RequiredContentGroupOnly parameter proceeds to install the rest of the application in the order defined by the AppxContentGroupMap.xml

Example 6: Install an app using the App Installer file

Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile "C:\Users\user1\Desktop\MyApp.appinstaller"

This command adds an app package as outlined in the App Installer file with all update settings specified within the App Installer file, if any.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ForceTargetApplicationShutdown

Indicates that this cmdlet forces all active processes associated with the package to shut down. If you specify this parameter, don't specify the ForceApplicationShutdown parameter.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InstallAllResources

Indicates that this cmdlet forces the deployment of all resource packages specified from a bundle argument. This overrides the resource applicability check of the deployment engine and forces staging of all resource packages, registration of all resource packages, or staging and registration of all resource packages.

Accept wildcard characters:	False

-OptionalPackages

Specifies the PackageFamilyName of the optional packages that are in a related set that need to be installed along with the app. Unlike the external packages flag, you don't need to pass in a path to the optional packages. It's an atomic operation, which means that if the app or its optional packages fail to install, the deployment operation will be aborted.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Path

To specify dependency packages, use the DependencyPath parameter and the DisableDevelopmentMode parameter.

Calling Add-AppxPackage and specifying the path to the app triggers the rest of the app to be installed in the order defined in the AppxContentGroupMap.xml.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
