How to re-install a provisioned package?

Hi,

I have installed an app using the command  

Add-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath C:\Temp\ABC\XYZ\***.appxbundle -SkipLicense

Due to some reason I uninstalled the app by using the method 

- On the Start screen, swipe down on or right-click the app you want to uninstall, tap or click Uninstall, and then tap or click Uninstall.

Then I tried to re-install it via the PowerShell with the same argument (Add-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath C:\Temp\ABC\XYZ\***.appxbundle -SkipLicense). 

I got the following result:

Path           :

Online         : True

Restart Needed : False


But: there is no icon nor tile present after this action!

I searched my installed apps on the laptop, but the application is not present!

Not in my application list and also not when I try the Windows search. And it's not listed in my installed applications in the "add & remove programs" section. 

How can i get the app installed once again? Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi VDNS,

Do you mean the app won`t be listed after performing a reinstallation even though with the same command line and installation command line worked before ,right ?

We can use the Get-AppxProvisionedPackage command line to get the installation information .
Here is a link for reference of Get-AppxProvisionedPackage command line:
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage

Have you checked the log for related information after performing the  Add-AppXProvisionedPackage command line ?
The default log is located in this path :
%WINDIR%\Logs\Dism\dism.log
Here is a link for reference of the Add-AppXProvisionedPackage command line :
Add-AppxProvisionedPackage

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

When I use Get-AppxProvisionedPackage, the package gets listed. But I dont see the app icon anywhere to open the app.

Thanks

Hi VDNS,

According to your description ,I have made a test .

Please try the following command to bring it back :
import-module appx
add-appxpackage SampleApp

The add-AppxProvisionedPackage command line is used to deploy the packages for all the users in the machine and the add-appxpackage command line is used for specific user .

Best regards
