Bug? DesktopAppInstaller in Win10 clean install and not updated

NTLite's Download Updates list is managed by nuhi, and doesn't always reflect the latest Appx package versions.

Since you've added a newer version of DesktopAppInstaller (winget), it needs a newer version of Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop at the same time. This script can be used to re-download DesktopAppInstaller and get the correct pre-requisite packages.

PowerShell GUI for Downloading Microsoft Store Apps - W10_11StoreApps.ps1

Code:
Downloading "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_2025.228.315.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle"
Downloading "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8_8.2501.31001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"
Downloading "Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.33728.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"
Downloading "Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.33519.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"

From the Updates screen, Add / Directory containing packages / Add the folder where the script downloaded them.
 
1. Run the script. Download "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller" / "x64" or "x86" / "Retail".

2. Select the 2025.228.315.0 version.

3. From the NTLite menu, go to Updates. Add the folder where you downloaded the files. NTLite will automatically add all those files.

You have to do the extra steps, because you picked a different version of DeskAppInstaller from outside of NTLite. If you only used the Downloader to update, then NTLite would have provided you an older version of the files that worked together.

Looks like the downloader itself uses the wrong version

After any clean install, WU will silently upgrade any optional ("Store") Apps to their latest version. Some versions of Windows may not be provided a new version based on internal MS rules on what apps are pushed to W10 vs. W11.

The problem here is as I stated before, NTLite's current downloads list is now out of date for those two packages.

You can copy these files to "\Program Files\NTLite\Updates\10.21H2.x64" folder, if you want.

Do you have a copy of your NTLite preset used to create this Windows image? Please attach it after removing any user passwords or license key.
 
Hi it look like when i do ONLY update it work. I'm pretty sure my remove commons, settings, etc, used to work. I'll try each category separately now I'm doing without deleting components. I'll let you know if it installs or not. and then I'll give you working settings and non-working settings. 100% tomorrow. today not working one

I would not disable UsoSvc before Windows can finish installing itself.
Code:
                <Services>
                        <TweakGroup name="services">
                                <Tweak name="UsoSvc\UsoSvc">3</Tweak>
                        </TweakGroup>
                </Services>
 
Continue in separate topic: "Windows10 not installing after component remove (copy from my post about update)"
