So in my case it was;

Code:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

It's missing only 1 dependency

Code:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF3, Package failed updates, dependency or conflictvalidation.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsStore because this package depends on another package that could not
be found. This package requires minimum version 14.0.22704.0 of framework Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 published by

along with this package.
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] c3d71c87-d628-0000-951e-d7c328d6d001 in the Event Log or use
the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID c3d71c87-d628-0000-951e-d7c328d6d001

Thanks for the effort though

I've done it once or twice. I'm not someone who is fearful of getting their hands dirty.

Thanks for the effort though. Even though it didn't work it was still fun to try. Thank you

^ Although you forgot the XML in that one.

 

Negative. There wasn't one.

Edit: I found the x64 app files... I'ma run the sdk and see if I can create an appx program from them.

 

hhhmm... Not sure how to install that. Possible it is dependent on something else internally.

Oh well. Here ends my fun then. I'll just format and install Windows 10 Pro and hack away at it.

Thanks again for the effort.

 

One does not simply give up.
It's a puzzle and we need to figure it out.

I'm game. I just don't want to take up your time.

But if you want to throw more my way.... I'm game.

 

used the sdk makeappx pack to create an x64 version from the files:
The thing is that I don't know if you are just supposed to install them without a license on their own or what.
I'm gonna load up a vm and see if I can get this working.

Edit: Link removed. this x64 version is not good. We need the original.

Yes I'm noticing this as well.
I found a folder full of license files in the "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\Archive\Apps"

I'm going to try them one by one and see which ones match the vcredist apps

NO NO NO. You were obviosly quoating me and being one of them that thinks this actualy works.
Load up wireshark and what not and you'll see your ltsb being full of telemetry. In fact ltsb logs more than pro

 

No need to hack Pro.

Just install Pro and upgrade it to LTSB Store will be keept. Aside many other "square" apps.

 

Well that did not appear to be true and even if it were, that would mean hacking away the ones I didn't want.

Oh well. Was worth a shot.
