I've read this whole thread, and I'm trying not to be lazy. I just downloaded the files thanks to the message posted before mine. I can get wsservice_crk to install ok, and TokensExtractor works fine for enabling trial->full. What I am confused about is how to acquire any app's installation files apart from the store, and how "re-distributables" differ from whatever is downloaded using the store. Can I find whatever installation file is downloaded through the store from some location on my drive and then install it later (or on another installation) apart from the store method of installation? Another question is where are the installed apps located on the drive? I search the drive (using voidtool's Everything) to find the app files, but the locations seem locked from any sort of file inspection and I can't seem to take ownership of them. I guess what I want to know is how to save a local copy of the installation files for any app, and then how to use those files later?
Installed apps are located in "C:\Windows\Program Files\WindowsApps", but the folder is hidden you just need to enable hidden folder and take ownership of folder then you can access that folder. but you wont able to create redistributable with that files. I already tried to add files to zip and rename to .appx but it didn't work.
probably offtopic but there is any way to copy an installed "app" from C:\Windows\Program Files\WindowsApps to another computer or thats impossible?
I have a 64-bit computer and I get this when I click the "Install" button in the 64-bit installer. What does this mean? "Start service WSServiceCrk : The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service."
I apologize in advance for my idiotic post. I have read the entire thread and the documentation, but the wording is a bit confusing. If I use this tool to unlock a trial, can I update it in the Windows Store? Or is that a terrible idea? If the latter is the case, how do you get updates?
Thanks for the reply. Another stupid question (Which I'm sure was answered in the doucmentation, but like I said, having trouble understanding it), if I install an app through a redistributable, it will not show up on the store, correct? (If this is incorrect, would I be able to update it safely?)
