Why Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.1.1.appx is coming in dependency - UWP appxupload

Question

When I was used to creating an appx file (x64 release mode) of my project. But now when I'm trying to install by double click it shows

"App installer failed to install package dependencies. Ask the developer for Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.1.1 package"

This issue can be resolved when they install Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.1.1.appx separately. But clients are not interested to do it. So how can I resolve this issue?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

The Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime package is a basic dependency of UWP applications and must be installed.

Generally speaking, if it is uploaded to the Microsoft Store, the installation of the application is relatively simple, and the installation process can be performed by the Microsoft Store.

If it is a side-loaded package, you need to perform the following installation steps:

1. Enabled developer mode
2. Install with PowerShell

Run the ʻInstall.ps1` script in the installation directory through PowerShell to perform automated installation to avoid manual installation of dependencies and certificates by users.

Thanks.
