Facing same issue after upgrading to 1.1.1.

[huichen123]

hmm, this fell off the radar completely. @BarcodeResource do you still have this issue?

[IstvanKor]

Same issue here. Tried with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
App Installer version: 1.17.11601.0

[huichen123]

works for me. @MikeHillberg @DrusTheAxe, did you hear anything like this?

[germanfortiz]

I'm still facing this error in 1.1.2 (0x8000FFFF).
Is there anything I can do to help to solve this? Log something, try without signing...

[germanfortiz]

Well, now it is working.
What happened:

• I tried to install the x86 version of the package
• In the process, the Microsoft Store showed a popup saying the WindowsAppRuntime.1.1 was just installed
• The x86 version of my package installed fine.
• Then I unistalled the x86 version and installed the x64 version, and the it installed fine.

Is it possible that I had the WindowsAppRuntime.1.1 not installed or outdated?

I am facing the same issue on windows 10. Basically I created a UWP app - installed it and then migrated to sdk, upgraded the version and then trying to install it. I get exactly issue with no logs of what is going wrong. huichen123 Can you let me know why this could happen?

App installation failed with error message: Deployment Add operation with target volume C: on Package 36148Vagisha.BasicUWPApp_1.0.10.0_x86__4mc14ffpd8dt0 from:  (BasicUWPApp_1.0.10.0_x86.msix)  failed with error 0x80073CF3.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Since it was filed, the Windows App SDK has seen updates, and the problem may no longer occur on the latest versions.
