Please help with the azure VPN client install - store app not available - need app installer

VPN

Hello,

​

I’m runing Win 10 22h2 19045.3208 on the affected machine

Today I came across a PC that doesn’t have the MS store app. I googled how to fix that and MS’s solution is to go to the MS store and download the installer. which requires the ms store to install.

I tried the microsoft diagnostics and was just shocked that it didn’t fix it.

I did find a copy of the azure VPN client but I can’t get it to install it without the apps store as far as i can tell. it is in a azvpnappx_3…1.3.0 folder. I installed it on another computer without any issues by clicking on the AzVpnAppx_3.1.3.0_ARM64_x86_x64.msixbundle file but that had the app installer.

I ran sfc /scannow and rebooted - no luck

I ran this in powershell as admin, Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

rebooted and it still doesn’t show under settings app or in a search.

​

Thanks

You can try using winget to install it

Thanks - that is the product I have that even though it doesn’t download throught the MS store, it will not install without it.

Thanks - worked after I ran wsreset.

Thanks - everything I’ve tried seems to come back to Windows 10 not allowing the app installer to work - not sure where that is but it seems like nothing is associated with it.
