    Hello, I have Windows Server 2016 on my PC. I'm trying to install Microsoft Edge on it. I know that's not supposed to work, but I already have Windows Store added on it. I found that on another site. Now, I'm trying to get Edge. It's not in the Store. I tried entering:
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
    to install Edge like I was reinstalling it from Windows 10. The command didn't give any errors but never said "Completed" like it's supposed to. I rebooted but it didn't install Edge. It's not listed in C:/users/.../AppData/Local/Packages
    It's supposed to show up there. Does anyone know how I can install Edge? Does anyone know where I can download
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Or any other way of installing Edge on Server 2016? Next I'm trying to install Outlook and maybe Cortana. Please reply. Thanks

    Hi, that Toolkit looks cool. I tried it but it doesn't have Edge as an option in Integrate. It doesn't have as many options as it does in the video. I did get Edge on using dism and Edge in the folder, but it opens and then closes. Store opens and closes too (it was fine before.) I tried changing permissions for Edge but it still doesn't stay open. Do you know how to fix that? Do you know why MSMG doesn't have all the options like it does in the video? Thanks again

    Hi, I made some progress. I converted install.swm and install2.swm into a install.wim. Then I opened up the toolkit and it gave 2 options of Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter. I'm on Datacenter and it used to only show Standard in the toolkit. Then Edge showed up along with other things. I installed Edge and rebooted but it it didn't work. Edge closes right after opening. Does anyone know how I can get it to work? I'll watch the video from the link above and try again.

    Hi, I just watched the full video. I have to create an ISO and then it will work. I'll report back.

    Hi, I'm back. I used the Toolkit and I now have Edge and the Windows Store. Super happy. I tried adding some other things but it made the ISO too big to fit on my 16GB USB. So I added just Edge and Store and it worked. That's what I wanted anyway. Thanks again

    Anyone was able to run Edge browser as RemoteApp?
    It does work on WS2016 via full RDP session, but seems not to run as RemoteApp.
    Any ideas?

    Microsoft Edge is not a provisioned application package like Metro (Store) Apps and cannot be installed with commands for those types of packages.

    You will need the Microsoft Edge base package and its associated language package cabinet (cab) files. Then you can just install them using either DISM command-line or PowerShell's Add-WindowsPackage cmdlet.

    This is how my PowerShell script integrates it offline to give you an idea:

    Code:
    If ($MicrosoftEdge.IsPresent -and (Test-Path -Path $EdgeAppPath -Filter Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package*.cab) -and $null -eq (Get-WindowsPackage -Path $MountFolder | Where-Object PackageName -Like *Internet-Browser*))
    {
        Try
        {
            $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "Integrating the Microsoft Edge Browser Application Packages."
            Out-Log -Info "Integrating the Microsoft Edge Browser Application Packages."
            $EdgeBasePackage = @{
                Path             = $MountFolder
                PackagePath      = "$EdgeAppPath\Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~$($WimInfo.Architecture)~~10.0.$($WimInfo.Build).1.cab"
                IgnoreCheck      = $true
                ScratchDirectory = $ScratchFolder
                LogPath          = $DISMLog
                ErrorAction      = 'Stop'
            }
            [void](Add-WindowsPackage @EdgeBasePackage)
            $EdgeLanguagePackage = @{
                Path             = $MountFolder
                PackagePath      = "$EdgeAppPath\Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~$($WimInfo.Architecture)~$($WimInfo.Language)~10.0.$($WimInfo.Build).1.cab"
                IgnoreCheck      = $true
                ScratchDirectory = $ScratchFolder
                LogPath          = $DISMLog
                ErrorAction      = 'Stop'
            }
