Im attempting to install an appx package to a remote PC that's on my network and domain.

 

I figured it could be as simple as the following ps command:

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass "<path to Add-AppDevPackage.ps1>" } -ComputerName <fully qualified PC name>

 

This command goes and does something but when I look at its output I see this:

error 0x80070005: Adding a tile failed with unexpected error.

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 5cbb8ed0-af81-0010-3d1c-bf5c81afd001 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID 5cbb8ed0-af81-0010-3d1c-bf5c81afd001

 

And then looking at the activity log, I see this:

6/25/2015 4:30:40 PM      827          Capability parsing started for the package  <app name omitted>

I have double checked that I have permissions to install the app on the remote computer, so it makes me think it could be a ntlm double hop thing happening?

Is there actually a way to remotely install appx packages?

The second link describes how to install an app if I were running commands directly on the target machine. But I am trying to install it from a remote powershell session.

Hi,

Installing appx with sideloading require volume license and other requirements, you could not install it directly on client machine. Refer to volume license center and make sure your environment meet these requirements for side loading. Regarding to side loading question, Id suggest that we post at MSND forum. There you can get more effective suggestion by other experts who familiar with Windows modern apps sideloading. Your understanding is highly appreciated.
