double clicking msix in File Explorer gives Invalid value for Registry error

[Gregory Goeppel]

I am new to msix. Testing msix side loading on 3 machines. Double clicking msix in File Explorer works fine on 2 machines. But one (windows 10) gives the above error. Using Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 works on the one that gives error. No event log errors. Is this normal for msix?

What version of Windows 10 are you on? And can you share the specific error code?

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044

No Error Code. Nothing written to event log.

It sounds like the Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller app may not be installed or is broken. Can you try running Get-AppxPackage *install* to check the status of Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller app. You can repair the app from apps settings page
