    Can the script be changed to save the downloaded file in the StoreDownload directory in the current working directory, instead of in the StoreDownload directory on the desktop?

    TKS



    ------------------------------
    I changed it myself
    Line 1094 of the StoreAppManager-1.4.5.ps1 file has been changed from ( $downloadPath = Join-Path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")) "StoreDownload") to ($downloadPath = Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "StoreDownload")

    can it also list installed software and offer download links or do it automatically?

    I shouldve had my eyes opened more. It seems that the script downloads vclibs etc instead of actual app, like this.

    They are dependency files required for the installation of the appx file.

    Since dependencies are often shared, it makes more sense to save them to the top-level folder.

    Man you're quick!


    V 1.5.3
    Feels abit smoother and doesnt freeze as much when press "Update Installed apps" When it does I think its because of vmware and my pc
    Only shows current version only until "Proceed" (does this make the script slightly faster?) Having option to select which apps to update is good.

    I picked Clipchamp and some codes for easy testing:
    I get "Installation failed. Add-appxprovisionedpackage failed Error code = 0xc1570118" on an appxbundle but msixbundle and rest gets "installed but may have issues"

    Not a fan that it shows every dependency either but its kinda minor unless you pick all apps to update, suddently you have a pretty big applist with different or same version and it will download all!

    I like you put all dependencies in the same app folder. Whats the empty "Dependencies" for?
    Thougt: if dependencies is already downloaded, skip downloading them again. Put depency apps in Dependency folder
