Answer 1

Hi,

you should be able to use:

winget install <identifier or search query> --source msstore

example:

winget install "firefox" --source msstore

Winget is a fairly new feature, make sure you have installed any updates to Windows and the windows package installer.

Over the weekend I uninstalled MSFT Store. Ran the command to have it reinstalled but always got "Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.". After different search results. I found the one that helped me.

Now I didn't have to download NET Framework, .NET Runtime, and VC Libs. Just downloaded the windows store appxbundle. I had to right click and save link as since it believes it's a harmful file. Have to select Keep. Using google chrome. The version I selected was Microsoft.WindowsStore_11811.1001.2713.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle

Double click the download file selected install for the MSFT Store. Store installed came up with no issues. Selected download and updates and the store updated to the newest version.

Hope this helps.
