Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm having trouble installing a .msixbundle package for the Microsoft Desktop App Installer. When I run the command `Add-AppxPackage -Path 'https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.11.430/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle'`, I get an error saying that it failed due to missing dependencies. Specifically, it says that I need the framework "Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop". I tried to find this package but ended up downloading a .readme file instead. Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this issue?

You should try downloading the necessary packages from GitHub directly. You can get the .msixbundle from [here](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.12.100-preview/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle) and the dependency files from [this link](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.12.100-preview/DesktopAppInstaller_Dependencies.zip). Just make sure to install all the .appx files first before you try the .msixbundle. Alternatively, you could install both the .msixbundle and the .appx dependencies at the same time with the right PowerShell commands!
