Install msixbundle Package Without need to internet

[ghost1372]

I created a project as a test, after creating msixbundle file, I realized that when we install msixbundle, the desired framework (Project Reunion 0.8.0) will be installed through the store first. So if we want to install our program on an offline system, we will definitely have a problem.
Is there a solution to this problem?

@DrusTheAxe Is there a way for apps to be installed offline?

@ghost1372 Thank you for the gif, that helps a lot. Will your app be distributed to end users through the Store or do you have other distribution channels? If you deploy through the Store, the Store will handle the Framework package installation. If deployed outside of the Store using say an MSI or setup program, then you can integrate in our installer (which handles the scenario where you are disconnected from the internet). Alternatively, you can also directly carry the MSIX packages, which your setup program can install directly. So would appreciate a bit more information about your app, your users, and distribution channel.

Thanks for your explanation, my program will reach the end user outside the store Via msix file

@ghost1372 ok great. Can you please confirm if in your gif you were disconnected to the internet? Have you tested the installation when being offline - what happens?

@zaryaf At the top gif, the internet was connected and msix installed without any problems. But in this new gif, the Internet is not connected (offline) and the msix is not installed and get following error

App Installer failed to install package dependencies. Ask the developer for Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 package.

@ghost1372 . Your app was able to install packages that were already registered, but failed to install the non-registered framework package (VC Libs in this case) because for that, you would need to be connected to the network so the Store can grab it. Or alternatively, your app needs to be have opted in for offline licensing. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/distribute-offline-apps
