    Hello,

    is there any way, how to integrate Metro app to install.wim?
    I have noticed there were some tools, which revealed installation APK file URL.
    I have also noticed the basic Metro apps are already integrated.

    1. So how to do that for any Metro app?
    2. How to find APK URL without any EXE app (only with script) (ARM)?
    3. What about the language files for Metro app? (I am asking because I have ENG basic Metro apps preinstalled, even I integrated Windows language pack. Does each language have a separate APK file?)

    Thanks for any hints... :)

    or the other way around, OP has already received the Tip off that with Windows 10 we can Run Android Apps in Windows itself & is preparing in advance. :tooth:

    That is BlueStacks's v0-9-11-4119 fault. :))

    1- DISM
    Code:
    dism /Image:MountDir /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:AppPackage /LicensePath:App-OEM-License /DependencyPackagePath:DependencyPackage1.appx /DependencyPackagePath:DependencyPackage2.appx
    AppPackage can be universal .appxbundle or .appx

    2- WindowsUpdate.log has all the URLs, which cann't be got unless if you install the App from Store
    and the url are temporary (require store authentication)

    3- .appxbundle is universal and contains all lang resources (it actually has several .appx inside)

    Great, thanks...
    ...I was afraid, that there is license XML file extraction needed, but I see it is not. Good. :)

    What is the best way to access those temporary URLs?

    Just leave Windows Store open/snapped-in the third of the screen and paste link in IE ASAP?

    Anybody knows, what this nice welcum of Apps Deploy v2-5-4-9 (English :D ) means? (It isn't Simplified Chinese anymore, because chars shifted to some rubbish.)

    If the license is full OEM, then the dism command is enough

    yes, apps will be fully functional

    Just choose Ne :D
