Deployment error - Installing .EAppxBundle [ Powershell ]

[NOice2]

I'm trying to re-install Waves MaxxAudio Pro (default audio manager for dell 3585).

I had this app installed on my laptop before. Recently, when I used a Debloat Script to clean up junk, along with others it removed this MaxxAudio too.

Following this article to re-install MaxxAudio Pro.

 

add-appxpackage -path "C:\Microsoft.WavesAudio.MaxxAudioProforDell2019_2.0.54.70_neutral___fh4rh281wavaa.EAppxBundle"

 

completer error :-

Went to Dell driver support and downloads, they don't provide any direct installer for MaxxAudio, just a MS-Store link and I don't have MS-Store.

Appreciate your efforts!

MS-Store

how do you not have the MS store? do you not have windows 10?

It breaks all sorts of stuff to remove it, its pretty deeply implemented. Like trying to remove ie, it breaks compatibility and file reading,

I used a Debloat Script Chris Titus tech's video, this script removes the bloatware that comes with Windows 10(including Store app).

Wow, thats a lose defenition of bloatware there.

The candycrush that comes preinstalled? yea

THe store? no... its bad but not bloat. 

 

 

Im pretty sure that that can break other things in the os

Used it on Win10 1909, 20H2 and 21H1, everything works fine, except for now because MaxxAudio is now part of Ms-Store.

the only reason to have the store is because theyre moving essential apps to the store to force people to use it:

Granted, my store doesnt work, because i have updates disabled, so it still *can* download some things (and does) but im essentially in the same boat lol.

 

Thank goodness i dont really need anything from the store…

Yeah, so why dont you ask them why they thought removing the sound app was a good idea, how that benefits you and how you can get it back?  Im sure they would know a solution (probably, maybe) = )

Found a way to get Microsoft Store back,

https://github.com/kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore

 

After running the script (as Administrator) it showed the same error- but Worked!

No one is to be blamed here, because MaxxAudio was tied up with MS-Store. So, removing Store = removing its apps too.

 

I won't mind keeping Store, if it works properly.

Thank you! everyone for sharing your opinions, closing thread now.
