.Net Maui Deployment error

Question

.Net Maui Deployment error

iancarr1412 1

Net Maui looks great. Everything in VS works but when trying to build for Windows I cannot get past this error:

DEP0800: The required framework ".nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.1.1\buildTransitive..\tools\MSIX\win10-x64\Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.1.msix" failed to install. [0x80073CFE] error -2018574325: Windows cannot process a deployment operation because the package repository database encountered an unrecoverable error. Use the Reset Your PC feature to recover your PC". I am using VS 17.3.0 Preview 3.0.

Any ideas please?

Based on the error information, it seems related to WindowsAppSDK. It works on iOS and Android, right? Are you still getting this error when deploying an empty project? Which .net MAUI project template did you use when creating the project? And would you mind sharing your MAUI version? For how to check the MAUI version, please manage NuGet packages, then check Microsoft.Maui.Dependencies.

Thanks for your reply. The project builds but does not deploy because of the failure to load the .MSIX file which is present in the correct folder.

I haven't got beyond Windows yet as the Android process stalls when the emulator fails to load. However, my goal is to work with Blazor Hybrid apps. I thought the the standard, out-of-the-box .Net Maui app would be the most straightforward place to start.

When you say "empty project" do you mean empty MAUI project?

.NET Maui version is: 6.0.408.

I mean the out-of-the-box .Net Maui template app. There is a related issue - I cannot run a new MAUI blazor project on windows. #8357, you could follow the progress at GitHub.

Thanks for the comment. Everything is fine with the MAUI project. The template loads and the project builds o.k. The deployment error seems to be related to a corrupted Microsoft Store installation.

Unfortunately, that cannot be repaired without a reset of the PC.

You mean you solved the issue after resetting your PC, right? Would you mind converting it to an answer?

Sorry! I should have been more explicit. I do not wish to reset the PC. It's frustrating that the reset is the only answer to a problem with an installed application. I can create a Windows Blazor Hybrid app without Maui for the time being.

This is not a specific answer to your question but here is what worked for me for most of the time.

Ensure NuGet packages are updated for the project (noting that there are subtle cases of workarounds where the latest packages may not work with Maui, but there are exceptions).
Delete the obj and bin folders in your project folder. You may need to exit Visual Studio as files in the bin folder may be locked and won't allow deleting the folder.
In the project folder, launch the Cmd Prompt with elevated privilege (as Administrator).
Run the command dotnet restore --no-cache

Now go to Visual Studio and rebuild your project. Hope it compiles this time. This is my starting point when compilations fail. Good luck.

Thanks for the response. I should have been more explicit in the question. The project builds but does not "run", i.e. there is a "deployment" error brought about by the failure to install the file "Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.1.msix". I have checked that the file is present and have even checked that the fully qualified file path is correct. I am assuming that the "package repository database" is the Nuget package repository database. Thanks again.
