Offline installation of the packaging tool
Hi
I need to install the tool on an offline Win10 1809 ; anyone knows where to get directly the setup file instead of downloading it with the Ms Store?
Tanks
The Microsoft Store for Business web portal allows you to download the package and distribute within your enterprise. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/distribute-offline-apps

John, it doesn't. There is no option within Store for Business to get this app and make it available Offline.
Perhaps you could provide the steps, if you believe it should be available as you describe.
If you add the app to your Store for Business catalog: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/apps-in-microsoft-store-for-business (make sure you select offline license)
Then you can download the app package: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/distribute-offline-apps
John.
I found that using a web monitoring tool like Fiddler, you can trace the download from the Windows Consumer Store as well, and find the url to the installer package. You'd be looking for the one ending in .appxbundle.
I'll mention (as long as we are talking about offline), that to perform a capture using the tool while offline, the driver needs to be pre-installed. So you can install the tool and while online, start the process until the driver is installed, then cancel the tool and make your snapshot.
