Install Microsoft Store and Apps on Windows 10 LTSB 2016

[dhjohns]

Here are links to a project a couple guys and I were working on over at another forum. If anyone has Microsoft Windows 10 LTSB (Long Term Service Branch) 2016 (that is build 14393,) and wants to have a few Modern Apps on it then here are the links. One includes XBox, and one doesn't. Simply extract the file, and run the batch file as administrator. You will have the Microsoft Store in your Start Menu, and will be able to download Modern Apps as if you were on any other version of Windows 10.

That's very neat! I've installed the Store and can now install applications. The problem I have encountered now is, I cannot launch applications once it has installed. Apps are visible via the start menu, but I cannot click on them whatsoever. How do I fix this, my friend?

[wallywestfb]

Thanks! Can you do the same with Microsoft Edge?

[whoatemybeans]

I got an error. any way to fix. I tired playing forza horizon online but couldnt sign in either so i used these commands to attempt to fix it and the apps went missing. (it worked the first time)

Install Microsoft Store and Apps on Windows 10 LTSB 2016

I have the same problem. Can anyone help me. Thanks!

[OldButtKicking]

This so nearly seems awesome. I used it to install the app store on a Windows Server 2016 Essentials. All appears to be good the XBOX app works and the store runs BUT I can not install any apps. When I press the install button the button actually moves down the screen 1/2" but nothing happens and if I press it again nothing happens. The odd thing is before I installed this if I went to the app store on the web I had a similar issue. I would press the "get app button" and nothing would happen. Presumably because it was trying to instantiate the app store on the client because now it does instantiate the app store on the client but as I say the install button in the client does nothing. I thought maybe a permissions issue but there is no option to RunAs administrator if I right click on the menu. If I switch to the admin user it will not even let me run the app store it says I must log in as a different user. Any ideas?

[c0d3d3v]

Just reinstall Windows without installing Updates. The easy way to be sure that no updates got install, is to disconnect the pc from the internet.

[Raxnar]

I recently decided to try LTSB for my Gaming Rig, Love the fact there is no Cortana, Edge, or Metro UI.

However I would like to get the store so I can try out Forza Horizon 3.

While this installation appears to have worked and I have the Store app in the list when I try to run it there is an error saying you cannot run this app as the Built in Administrator.

I am not signed in as the built in administrator... I even created a new user from scratch, same issue.

Any ideas?

[andileps]

Very Thankyou

[blackolive81]

Works amazingly. Thank you guys so much. I used the Xbox version and the app works great, I also installed Netflix and Plex as a test and it works fine. I downloaded the Forza Horizon 3 Demo and have yet to try it, but still. I love LTSB but still wanted the ability to install apps if I needed to, felt like that was a major downside of LTSB for the average user.

Props!

[Mauriciobp]

I have almost the same problem, and after many tries, I just solved the problem by extracting the zip file at the Desktop.

Thanks, this works!

This only installs for the currently logged in user. Is it possible to install this for all users?

[Him]

Successfully installed Windows DVD Player app to LTSB as well. Thanks!

[Him]

If you have the Inbox Apps Bundle DVD from Microsoft or you have downloaded the app packages using Fiddler, you can use Add-AppxProvisionedPackage PowerShell command to deploy them to all users.

The Edge package is from Build 15063. Is that mean we can even install the Edge from Build 16929 to LTSB 2016 which is based on Build 14393?

[Him]

I received the following error when trying to run Edge, it closed immediately after 1-2 seconds, how can I solve it?

This looks awesome, yet not working for me.

On LTSB 1607 14393.1944 , trying by running script as Admin in CMD, and Admin Powershell, I get the error:

echo This script must be run as administrator to work properly!
echo If you are seeing this right click on All_In_One.CMD and select "Run As Administrator."

[JeepWillys58]

Hello Friend
I tried to do as you detailed in your comment, but it did not work. Every time I click the Edge icon on the start menu it opens and closes immediately.

[JCustomIzer]

Updated OP to include package for installing Edge.

I ran the InstallEdge .cmd as Administrator, but it fails. 355 files copy successfully (no errors there). The first error is on registration:


Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed.

Rejecting a request to register from AppxManifest.xml because the manifest is not in the package root.

(I see the AppxManfiest.xml in the root of C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe though)

There's another error, but

I think this could by what another the issue mentioned by another commenter that it is intended for release 15063 but my LTSB is build 14393.2068. What do you think? Should it still work? Maybe something else is wrong?

The Edge package is from Build 15063. Is that mean we can even install the Edge from Build 16929 to LTSB 2016 which is based on Build 14393?
Were you able to do that? I am struggling to add Edge 42 (17133) or Edge 41 (16299) to LTSB 2016 (instead of Edge 38 of 14393) and I wait with some errors in Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational
If you succeeded with that, please show the steps? Or upload the Edge 42 binary :)
The topic on MDL is dead, while there is a demand to use latest Edge on LTSB or on WS2016 in terminal environment.

Thanks

Does it work with the new LTSC 2019 version?

[Pitbull_Raven]

Does this need Admin privileges? While I do have local admin privileges, I am a member of a ADS and as such, some Admin tasks (such as registry settings) are blocked.

Wonderful, this was my problem with Windows 10 LTSB. It works, but the download speed is about 10 kByte per second. The methods described for Windows 10 pro do not work, as the pages are different. Has someone found a solution to speed up the transfer?

To fix download speed issue try to reset tcp/ip to default
Command Prompt cmd as admin then Type “netsh int ip reset” then restart

Hi, had a question about this. I was able to get the windows store with xbox installed on my laptop. However I can not get it to install on my desktop which uses the same version of Windows. It runs through the installation like it did on my laptop but the store or xbox are not on my computer. Has this happened to anyone else?

Install Microsoft Store and Apps on Windows 10 LTSB 2016

I have the same problem. Can anyone help me. Thanks!
These were found on the first page with no resolution. I finally solved it but I'm not sure which specific step of mine is what fixed it:



Install was successful on desktop so I copied my WindowsApps folder from desktop to new installation
Redownloaded the Xbox + Store zip because mine was missing files - realized after my folder wasnt 50mb like the zip file
Manually moved the WindowsApps folders from the redownloaded zip to the WindowsApps directory


Now it works. I'm assuming it was failing to move the files to WindowsApps for some reason and the resolution was manually moving them.

Store for LTSC 2019

[jsd6265]

Didn't try the Add-Store 2019 since it's an exe, no one else has posted about it, and I don't have time to run in a sandboxed VM, ill let someone else do that one.

Used the original 2016 script, ran as admin and was able to install store on Jan2019 release of LTSC enterprise x64!! Thanks very much!

I don't know if it's a virus but I've installed LTSC 2019 on 3 different computers and I am able to install Store, Xbox, and Edge fine using the OP scripts (labeled for 2016). There is no reason to run the exe and it would be stupid to from a security standpoint.

[zimbrich]

Finally got it to install and Store will launch but I keep getting the error 0x80070422 when I try to search or open an app shown in list. Any ideas?

[MrWhispers]

This still works but Recently Microsoft updated the XBOX APP to nolonger support older versions of windows so as long as you do not update XBOX APP to the new "XBOX CONSOLE COMPANION" you should be ok.

I did not know this unfortunately and now my xbox app is no more its updated to the xbox console companion and I currently don't know anyway to downgrade.

This just recently happen during E3 a couple days ago. You can read more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/bwszzx/xbox_app_updated_on_windows_10_to_xbox_console/

Might have to reinstall windows and just not update the xbox app. As this is the only way I know to keep this going unless you want to reinstall windows to the latest build ???

( anyone have any ideas ? )



TL;DR

XBOX APP E3 UPDATE renamed "Xbox Console Companion" will not open on older versions of windows? temp work around DO NOT UPDATE XBOX APP. (sadly everyone prob updated it and now have to reinstall windows because of this)



Edit:

I think if I was able to find a previous version of the appxbundle I could side load this but I can't find any on the web currently still searching.

Microsoft.XboxApp_19.19.28029.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppXbundle might even work if I can find the AppX file.

Tried on W10 LTSC 2019?

I've the problem on W10 LTSB 2016, on 3 computers. I'm not able to launch the Xbox companion since the update.
I think, you're right when you say it's not compatible with old W10 (like LTSB 2016).

I'm proceding upgrade to the LTSC 2019. Wait & see.
If after the upgrade, the problem still there, I downloaded the W10 Enterprise 1809, I will extract the WindowsApp directory from the install.wim and start again from the beginning.

[Khal]

For information, it works.

Take the install.wim from a Windows 10 Enterprise 1809 ISO.
Don't extract the install.wim. I think microsoft used symbolic links. If we extract the zip stupidly, it weighs ~ 130GB...
Open it with 7zip, you will find numbers from 1 to x. For me, the good version was the number 3 (as indicated in the [1].xml).
Copy the WindowsApps folder where you want.

Modify rights on the real "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps", take ownership and add full rights for your user.
For the Xbox app, copy:
- DesktopAppInstaller*
- NET.Native.Framework*
- NET.Native.Runtime*
- Services.Store.Engagement*
- StorePurchaseApp*
- VCLibs*
- WindowsStore*
- Xbox*

Add app you want.
After, open PowerShell terminal as superadmin and run 3/4 times:
Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\*\AppxManifest.xml'

You may need to force an update of the store. Run:
$namespaceName = "root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap"
$className = "MDM_EnterpriseModernAppManagement_AppManagement01"
$wmiObj = Get-WmiObject -Namespace $namespaceName -Class $className
$result = $wmiObj.UpdateScanMethod()

Wait few minutes. I do not know how long it takes...

Now, you have to restore NTFS rights on the WindowsApps folder.
Boot on Windows 10 USB key (preferably a 1809 enterprise), choose "Repair the computer", terminal and type:
icacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /q /c /t /reset
exit

And that's good !

[rasputin]

Ok from Rasputin

Add app you want.
After, open PowerShell terminal as superadmin and run 3/4 times:

Did this happen to you? Internet searches say this error occurs because the app expects a higher Windows build version. I'm on LTSB using the AppX packages from 1809 enterprise like your tutorial.
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this
