Cannot install or update UWP or WinUI apps using msixbundler
Bogdan, I got it working on a brand new Win10 machine that was not added to our domain. The install and update work great. Next we will add the machine to the domain and the install should break, which means we need to identify whatever group policy is preventing this from working.
There was a time when I had similar problems (I was able to install MSIX packages only with PowerShell - if I remember correctly an OS update messed up something).
Maybe it is something similar affecting your machine. From what I can see this generic error has a long history:

Microsoft disabled AppInstaller as an external file by default a while back. The AppInstaller file may be included directly in the package instead. There is a group policy to enable external AppInstaller files. I don't know if the disablement was specific to domain join or not, but perhaps that is the case.
