but installation fails with error: Msix-PackagingTool-Driver-Package Error: 0x800f0818
CBS log provides the following detail:

In the end I had to download the driver Msix-PackagingTool-Driver-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab file on a connected VM running Win11 24H2 and then apply it to my disconnected VM.
Hi Crazylarry!
Great to see that worked for your case!
Thanks. But ideally MS would address this issue on their webpage!
Hello Sergio_J_Re
Let me see if I can give you some help.
For the error it looks like the version of the MSIX Packaging Tool driver package you're trying to install isn't matching the version required for your current OS (Win 11 22H2). The error usually is caused by a mismatch in the expected version numbers. You’ll need to download the correct driver package that matches the version of Windows you're using. Try getting the MSIX Packaging Tool driver package for the exact version of Windows 11 (like 22621) and try installing it again. This should resolve the issue.
I hope it helps!
I am also getting this problem. I have downloaded the correct driver package file according to the Microsoft tech page which states:
- Download the FOD .cab file for Windows 11, version 22H2, x64 NOTE: This will also work for later Windows 11 versions
