Hi! I accidentally uninstalled the built-in Metro Travel App in Windows 8..Any idea how to reinstall it? As the app is working in other user accounts and is only uninstalled from my user account. EDIT: I checked several times, and it is not appearing in the Store.
Open the Store, right-click anywhere in the apps and select 'Your apps',it should be listed there under 'Apps not installed on this PC'. Just click on the 'Travel' app and finally in the lower left side of the screen click 'Install'.. And that's it,you've got your app back
Just checked the Store under 'Apps not installed on this PC' and it gives that "All of your available apps are installed on this PC" This Travel App is working on other accounts on the same PC, just not on my account
Hmm,that's reaaaaally odd - before I posted ^ I even deleted my travel app on purpose to be sure it works. ...Is it possible that you just unpinned the app (right click on the tile/unpin) instead of deleting it outright?
Even if you uninstalled it it's still somewhere there. To really remove it you need to remove the appx package with dism + you can only do that if there are no accounts that have it still "installed". So if you didn't dism it away it's still on your hdd. It's just nice to know but actually it doesn't matter, for now you need to use the store to get it back.
Press Win+W to open search in the charms bar select "Store" with your mouse type "travel" in the search the app will appear under Recommendations click it and then hit install
Definitely uninstalled it as I checked all Apps and it is not there. It's weird though why it isn't showing up in the store. Because all updates to the built in apps are there for Bing, Mail, People, Messaging Apps...
I found it another way by navigating to C:\Program Files\Windows Apps and it does contain the folder for Bing Travel...But it isn't showing up in the store or otherwise installing..Is there a way to repair/reinstall it using command prompt, or any other way?
Maybe you can try to remove it again and see what happen by using powershell: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx#RemoveApps technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh856038.aspx
That's the real removing with dism I was talking about on the previous page, it could indeed by that it reappears in the store if you do that. EDIT: weird. I removed some apps with dism, and they don't show up in the list anymore when you ask dism for all installed apps. However they are still in the WindowsApps directory...
Well, I didn't use DISM, instead, I just type remove-appxpackage in the powershell. I experienced a problem of VClibs, that whenever I tried to update an app via windows store, it always showed a 0x80070002 error. When I checked the event log, it said there is something wrong with the VClibs or appContainer. So what I did is to uninstall all apps by remove-appxpackage and finally the old version of VClibs will be uninstalled automatically. Then I manually delete the VCLibs folder in WindowsApps directory. Finally all the problem resolved. Windows store will download and install the latest version of VClibs then all apps can be updated without problem.
