I’m not real familiar with appx installation, but likely you need to find silent install command lines instead of just trying to launch the .appx file.

Ok Thanks, but these all are for the Microsoft Store updates, do you recommend any fixlets to update the Microsoft store updates"

Appx packages are inherently per-user. I’m not sure whether the ‘regapp’ relevance is valid for these, have you tested in Fixlet Debugger?

Have a read at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism-app-package--appx-or-appxbundle--servicing-command-line-options for how to provision appx packages or bundles for all users on the system. The command lines vary greatly depending upon the package type.

When you have tested a command line that provisions the package correctly (and test that installing the provisioned app appears correctly for the next user that logs on), post the command line here and we can help you with how to deploy it via BigFix.

I tried below one but in Debugger it fails,Please advice

What happens if you run that powershell command manually, does it install? I’d try each of these -

  • Use the 64-bit version of powershell explicitly, by adding action uses wow64 redirection false to the action script, before executing the ‘waithidden’ command.

  • Produce a log of the powershell command output by wrapping in a cmd.exe shell and using cmd to save the stdout and stderr to a log file, like I do at Unzip via PowerShell

Also apply the PowerShell parameters to bypass the ExecutionPolicy, run in non-interactive mode, and run commands from command line, while using the CMD output redirection to save the output and error messages to a log file. Review the log file after running to see whether PowerShell itself gave any errors.

action uses wow64 redirection false

waithidden cmd.exe /c ""powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NonInteractive -C -Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Temp\Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.43012.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (1).Appx" > c:\windows\temp\powershell-log.txt 2>&1"

  • Check the BES Client Log to see what return code was given by the ‘waithidden’ command.

  • Try running this in the context of the logged-on user instead of LocalSystem context. I don’t know whether this package installs per-user or per-machine, but I think Appx generally installs per-machine. There may be DISM commands to stage it for all users though instead of using powershell. I also have tips for running commands in user context at Tip - Action Override User settings

edit: also you seem to be referencing the wrong path in the powershell command. You’ve copied the downloaded file to c:\Temp in the command copy “__Download\Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.43012.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (1).Appx” “C:\Temp\Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.43012.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (1).Appx” but then you’re trying to reference it at C:\

edit2: I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with this statement

wait “__Download\Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.43012.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (1).Appx”
I think we already said just trying to execute the .Appx is not correct

i executed below one

Fixlet with exit code 1
Fixlet with exit code 11439×154 37.6 KB

Attached the fixlet, it completes but with exit code 1 also checked the powershell log in C:\windows\temp\ it says that -Add-AppxPackage is not a recognized as name of cmdlet

i checked in powershell AddAppxPackage is a valid command

PS C:\Users\abc> Add-AppxPackage

cmdlet Add-AppxPackage at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Path:

I based my command lines on your earlier post. It looks like there should be no hyphen in front of “-Add-AppxPackage”

Yes Sir I edited that still, it results in Non-zero( 1 ) as the exit code.
Debugger is successful but in console it says completed or waiting with exit code 1

This time the log says A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument ‘$null’…

Hi,

Did you ever get this to work? If so, how did you resolve?

I am working on this right now and I will give an example of what I am doing using your prefetch.
