Use the system user to run the command Add-AppxPackage

[maysaribeiro]

I have a service that performs some processes and can even be run installation commands. This service is performed by the local system user (SID S-1-5-18).

So I sent the command below for the service to run, which it runs using powerShell as the local system

Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Windows\App.UWP_2.0.27.0_x64.msixbundle" -DependencyPath "C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Windows\Dependencies\x64\Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2.appx", "C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Windows\Dependencies\x64\Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2.appx", "C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Windows\Dependencies\x64\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.4.appx", "C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Windows\Dependencies\x64\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx"

However when trying to run, I get the error:

The AppX Deployment operation for CodeWith7-CodeWith4-CodeWith4-CodeWith4-CodeWith12_2.0.27.0neutral ~ 3kncj78a7wnxj failed with error 0x80073CF9. The specific error text for this failure is: Add deployment operation rejected in the CodeWith7-CodeWith4-CodeWith4-CodeWith4-CodeWith12_2.0.27.0_neutral ~ _3kncj78a7wnxj package: App.UWP_2.0.27.0_x64.msixbundle installation request because the account of the Local System is not allowed to perform this operation.

When I change the service manually so that it runs using a local administrator user, the command runs without any error. I have a business need to run this command as a local system. Does anyone know how I can do this? Or, does anyone know how to explain to me WHAT is done in the process that requires an ADM user?

• [x] I have already verified that the machine has developer mode enabled.
• [x] Before executing the Add-AppPackage command I perform the import of the certificate, so the certificate is installed: "Import-Certificate -FilePath \"{0}\"-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root", Path.Combine ( directoryInstallation, item)
• [x] I tried to change the command from Add-AppPackage to Add-AppxPackage, but it also didn't work
• [x] I tried to change the command to run Add-AppDevPackage.ps1, but it also didn't work
