    While I'm trying to intergrate UWP App updates offline for Windows 11 Professional, 24H2 using NTLite, I met these error:

    Intergrating: MSN Weather + Dependencies - Error 0xc1570117 - [279]
    Intergrating: Xbox App + Dependencies - Error 0xc1570117 - [279]

    While other apps are updated with no errors.

    These two updates can be intergrated into Windows 10 22h2 with latest LCU image successfully using NTLite, but fail to install on windows 11 24h2 with latest LCU image.

    What I have done is:
    -> Download the latest Appx Package from store.rg-adguard.net
    -> Install them with the appropriate license .xml files and appropriate dependency packages specified
    -> Update the latest Windows 11 24H2 Build (May 2025)
    -> I have tried removing these 2 apps first, then reinstall the new ones, error 279 still encounters.
    -> The Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle version is 4.54.63022.0. (published 2025.05.13)
    -> The Microsoft.GamingApp_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle version is 2505.1001.9.0. (published 2025.05.24)

    I have searched the info about this error 0xc1570117: The specified package is not a bundle containing a stub package. A stub package is required when the InstallStub option is specfied, or the package family's stub preference is configured to install a stub package.

    It's weird: I can successfully install them online by using winget and Desktop App Installer, but can't do it offline.

    So, what can I do next? Is this M$'s new bug on APPX Packaging?

    Why not try to specifiy /StubPackageOption:InstallFull ?
    you probably also need /Region:all

    Oops, there's no stub packages available in the latest version of the app. o_O
    The default installer package has the stub package.
    It's from 26100.1742.240904-1906.ge_release_svc_prod1_amd64fre_InboxApps.iso.

    After adding -region and -stubpackageoption parameter, error still exists.

    Is the iso / install.wim created from UUP or ready iso from Microsoft?

    check the app registry key from install.wim SOFTWARE
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\offline_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Applications\Microsoft.BingWeather_xxx
    see if any Stub reference exist

    or check this file inside install.wim to see any "Sub" reference
    Code:
    \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppxProvisioning.xml

    Alright, then I'll try fully remove the appx, then reinstall them. :)
    The Affected dlls are:
    AppxProvider.dll, C:\Windows\System32\Dism, 10.0.26100.3624 (from 2025.04 LCU)
    AppxAllUserStore.dll, C:\Windows\System32, 10.0.26100.4061 (from 2025.05 LCU)

    Finally temporarily solved by using UUP-Generated ISO, with the following parameter specified:
    StubAppsFull =1

    And compared with Windows 10's Inbox Apps in Official 22H2 Build, we can find that:

    In win10 22H2, MS use INSTALLFULL by default.
    And in win11 24H2, MS use STUBONLY by default.

    STUBONLY has caused so many problems integrating app updates offline, despite it can make apps smaller in size.

    Also, I recommend UUPDUMP to set the StubAppsFull parameter to 1 by default.
