Where are application distributions downloaded from the microsoft store?

Question

Microsoft

Good afternoon!

I have a laptop that has the microsoft store cut out, it needs to install a wireless display adapter, but it's only available in that store. I did not find other trusted sources where this application could be downloaded.
On another laptop, I downloaded and installed this application, but I can not find its installer to transfer to the first laptop and install. Tell me where can I get it?
in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder, it seems that only installed applications are located, but not the distributions themselves.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

To deploy appx applications offline, you need to do the following:
1. On a PC with open access to the Microsoft Store and Internet access, find the application you need, go into it, press the share button and copy the link to the application.
2. Go to the resource https://store.rg-adguard.net/ and paste the link to the application into it. This resource generates direct links for downloading appx applications from microsoft servers, as well as all dependencies for it.
3. This resource gives out quite a lot of links with different versions and extensions. You need to choose the link in which the name of your application is present in the title, the bitness of the system (if any) matches, and the appx or appxbundle extension. In your particular case, the link looks like this Microsoft.SurfaceWirelessDisplayAdapter_3.4.137.1000_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle
4. Download the application, sometimes it downloads correctly with an extension, sometimes without an extension, in which case you add the .appx extension
5. The application is installed either by double-clicking, if a package manager is configured, or via PowerShell.
6. To install via PowerShell, you can use a command like this Add-AppxPackage -Path .\file.appx
7. During the installation process, the system may give an installation error with a message that additional packages are required for installation, these can be frameworks or VC libraries, the error text indicates which package is required, it can be found in the list that was received in paragraph 3 You need to download the required dependency and install it according to steps 3 to 6. after that, continue installing the main package, so you need to do this until all the required dependencies are installed.

Answer 2

C:\Windows\Installer
C:\ProgramData\Packages
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache

Only these are not installation packages, but their components.

There is a laptop on which the microsoft store is cut out

And the web version doesn't work either?
