Hello,
&nbsp;
Failure to install the packaging driver is often caused by issues with your Windows Insider settings.
&nbsp;
You can find more information about common configuration issues here:

&nbsp;
Thanks!
James

I have found that the driver will fail to install in this way if the VM does not have access to the internet.&nbsp; I'm not sure why that is the case; being connected to a local network is not enough.
&nbsp;
If you need to package in an offline VM, you should connect it to the internet, start packaging to the point that the driver gets installed and then cancel.&nbsp; You can then take your snapshot and be disconnected from then on.

Feature on demand packages, such as the packaging tool driver, are fetched on demand from Windows update servers. See&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-v2--capabilities for more details. Thus the need for an internet connection as Tim identified.
&nbsp;
If you are working with offline VMs, you can also review the "Installing MSIX Packaging Tool driver FoD in WSUS" section of the workarounds page to get information on pre-downloading a copy of the FoD package.&nbsp; You can then preinstall the driver on your VM to avoid any need to attach the VM to the internet!
&nbsp;
Thanks!James

We actually have the individual FOD cab published to download.&nbsp; All the details and a few different approaches to offline install are available here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/mpt-known-issues#msix-packaging-tool-driver-considerations

James PikeThanks for pointing to this direction! I finally got it working by signing in into the Feedback Hub. Although it's not mentioned as a requirement, it seems to be necessary in order to install the driver. In my case, with error&nbsp;0x80131500, this was a reproducible cause.
