Error getting MSIX Packaging Tool Driver
I think Microsoft was listening. I tried again today... I'm not even sure why I did, I think I just like clicking the button. Anyways it worked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So just try 13 times over 2 days if this happens to you haha
Great to hear. The errors are usually a mismatch of the insider settings. It could be related to GA of Windows 10 1809 allowed you to get the driver without a specialized config.

@jvintzel
there is not a more specific answer? i have the same error since the last update of October windows
If you go to Settings > System > About what is the OS build version?
Thank you very much. I have solved it. alparecer had conflict with my internet
I was kind of joking but what I actually did was run updates and reboot until it went away. I also think there may have been an issue with the driver installer download on their end but I can't prove it. Under the covers it seems to be calling old fashion DISM and that was erroring out.
The driver is a FOD (Feature on Demand) and we do leverage DISM to install those. Do you recall what OS Build this occured on? If it happens again can you file an item via Feedback Hub for us to investigate?
jvintzel given that the driver is required to use the MSIX packaging tool, why would it be install on demand? I am having this exact same problem and I am on a deadline. I am trying to find the driver even though the MSIX Packaging Tool is installed on my computer. I feel as though my time is being wasted and it should have just installed.
