Windows 10 2004 - MSIX Not Updating -Please check whether the Msixvc support services are installed.
Somehting similar is happening here, 2004 as well. I'm getting AppInstaller failures with Unknown error (0x80d05011). It is related to msixbudles as I can easily get appinstaller back into a working condition switching back to non-bundle packaging. It is the same with either flat bundles or regular ones.
The issue doesn't occur if I install the msixbundle directly without .appInstaller.
Also I found the default App.packagelayout template from Visual Studio to have missing configuration name in the end of FileName attribute. This means thegenerated misxbundle file will have no "_Debug" or "_Release" strings in the end of filenames. However, looking inside the generated .appinstaller file msixbundle URL, I see configuration names are there, and so the .appinstaller will fail to lookup for the bundle. Of course the above mentioned error doesn't solve even patching this trivial filename mismatch, and also exists when no App.packagelayout file is provided (and so filename matches correctly).
Can you provide any additional information on how you managed to switch to a non-bundle package? I think we tried that, and we still had the error when trying to perform a subsequent update with the app installer.
- I simply removed the App. package layout file and selected Never for "Create bundle?" in app package creation wizard. Mine is a simple application and doesn't really needed a bundled layout. Different packages for each cpu architecture will be created.
