Test result: it only works if the user is an admin of the machine.
Server: WAPT Enterprise 2.6.1.17786 on Debian

Did you know? When parrotfish undergo smoltification, their osmoregulation mechanism is reversed!

On a forum obviously it indicates that you have to use Add-AppxProvisionedPackage

Currently the installation of an MSIX app to all users does require the use of the Add-AppxProvisionedPackage PowerShell cmdlet, or the use of the DISM parameter /add-appxprovisionedpackage.

Good call on the cmdlet!
However, this cmdlet must be executed with an admin account, but for this, the LOCAL SYSTEM account is authorized.
Here is the complete setup.py file for those who are interested:

Code: Select all

from setuphelpers import *
PackageName = "MSTeams_23285.3604.2469.4152_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"
def install():
    print("Installation du Nouveau Teams")
    cmd = r'powershell Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -SkipLicense -PackagePath "MSTeams-x64.msix"'
    run(cmd)

def uninstall():
    cmd = r'powershell Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers %s' %(PackageName)
    run(cmd)
Reminder :
- "-Online" to integrate with the current Windows installation
- "-SkipLicense" otherwise the cmdlet fails because it normally requires a license file which is not provided.

Thanks Simon, thanks to you, I'm going away for the weekend having finished this!

Have a great weekend!
