i4th8 Did you set the install behavior to either System or User?

 

You can configure a Win32 app to be installed in User or System context. User context refers to only a given user. System context refers to all users of a Windows 10 device.

End users are not required to be logged in on the device to install Win32 apps.

The Win32 app install and uninstall will be executed under admin privilege (by default) when the app is set to install in user context and the end user on the device has admin privileges.

    I have a app packaged under System context however the end user does not have admin privileges ,Because we dont want users to install unapproved apps on their systems
