    The functionality is available in the Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager runtime class and the Windows.Management.Deployment namespace in general.If, by Windows API, you don't include the Windows Runtime API, then please take note that I am suggesting this fully understanding that you may want to run this in a desktop application. The PackageManager runtime class works without issue in desktop applications.
