Cannot install via Store (Server 2016)

Question

Hi Guys,

Ok, the background:

I have installed a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter edition.

I wanted to see how much I can make this a workstation.

I succesfully downloaded APPX and APPXBUNDLE software like store, Edge, Xbox etc (the default apps you get with Windows 10).

I had to install them via Powershell and when there where dependancies, I installed those as well before installing the faulting program again..

So everything works. Apps get updated and so on. Pretty cool huh ;) ?

Now, when i want to install an app from the Windows store, i can click on download, and it downloads after acquiring a license.

After that process completes, I click on install, and it greys out for a sec and then returns to be clickable again, but the app is not being installed.

I receive no error message.

When I look at the eventviewer logs, I see nothing extraordinary exept that the installer servcie stopped and then returns into a running state.

However, when i find the APPX file for the application and use powershell, it installs perfectly and gets updated etc.

Any ideas?

Regards Robert

An update:

I looked in the Store logs and found a few interesting items, Not sure if they are all related.

When I start the Store app, i see a lot of errors and warnings.

I have uploaded it to my OneDrive. Below the url:
