Unfortunately the version I was able to download did not work on my system. I am running Win10 1809 LTSC. Is there a work around for this version or would it work on Server 2012?

Adrian_Clark In case the instructions for the Store for business were not clear, here is my summary...

 

In the store for business you request the offline version and get an msixbundle file, but you must also download the license file as a separate file.  It comes in either binary or text form.  I don't remember off-hand which I used so snatch up both. 

 

You use the powershell command to install the package on the disconnected packaging machine, including both the bundle and license file.  This powershell install can be in the user account with Add-AppXPackage, or a preinstall on the image snapshot using Add-ProvisionedAppXPackage if creating an image for multiple packagers.

 

With rumors that the Store For Business might be going away, I'm watching for information on how we'll do this in the future.
