    I'm looking for Windows Store App Backup by Kiran Murmu but seems to have disappeared from the face of the planet. If anyone knows where to procure this tool, please let me know!

    I'm trying to make Pengwin work, it should be installable by other means too if not.

    Code:
        'Windows Store App Backup' by Kiran Murmu
    ================================================================================

    1] Enter the App path:
    ex. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Disney.TempleRunOz_1.6.0.25_x86__6rarf9sa4v8jt
    Copy the 'Windows App' path which you want to backup, click on the left side
    console icon and select "Edit" then "Paste" and hit enter.

    2] Enter the Output path:
    ex. C:\Users\User Name\Desktop\New folder
    Copy the 'Output' path where you want to save the backup, click on the left side
    console icon and select "Edit" then "Paste" and hit enter. Backup process will start
    immediately... this may take some time to make package.

    3] A Window will pop up 'Create Private Key Password'
    Enter your password and click 'OK' then follow steps, or click 'None' button to skip.
    This process may take some minutes after that backup App is ready to use.

    4] Use 'WSAppPkgIns.exe' file to install the backup App. Copy 'WSAppPkgIns.exe' from the
    'WSAppBak' foler and paste to 'C:\Windows\System32'. Now open the backup App (.appx)
    file using the 'WSAppPkgIns.exe', and make it default 'Opens with' program for (.appx)
    file.

    *You must have installed Windows Store App license of the App to run the backup App.
    *You must have installed 'Dependencies Package' to install the App. (You can backup
    dependencies package too)
    *You must not delete any file from the 'WSAppBak' folder, or program may not works.

    When I try to open the backup .appx file with the WSAppPkgIns.exe in my System32 folder, I get "This application could not be started." I read up it has something to do with .NET framework, but I already have the latest 4.8 installed, and have 3.5/2.0 enabled too. Any ideas?

    Use ESEDatabaseView to get App link from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb

    I don't see how that would help me open my already-made backup .appx file. I think I'm just missing a dependency or permission of the WSAppPkgIns.exe, but don't know which one. When I try to install it with the PowerShell, it says invalid certificate or something like that.
