@RaksitYar Update your extraction software (7-Zip/ WinRAR). The delete all your files, redownload the WSA Build and re-extract and try again.

[RaksitYar]

@RaksitYarОновіть програмне забезпечення для видобування (7-Zip/WinRAR). Видаліть усі файли, повторно завантажте збірку WSA, розпакуйте та повторіть спробу.

7zip - 24.01. WinRAR - v6.24. Unzips without errors.

"PS C:\Users...\Documents\WSA> Get-AppxPackage "[I]MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid[/I]" | Remove-AppxPackage PS C:\Users...\Documents\WSA>"

I checked all the WSA files. The files are actually deleted.

[MustardChef]

@RaksitYar Could you tell me what files are missing?

[RaksitYar]

All WSA files deleted and the error does not disappear.

[MustardChef]

All WSA files deleted and the error does not disappear.

Could you send me a screen recording of the extraction and installation process and also provide screenshots of the extracted folder.

Thank you!

[RaksitYar]

[MustardChef]

Could you open the folder in Powershell and run:

Add-AppxPackage -ForceApplicationShutdown -ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion -Register .\AppxManifest.xml

[RaksitYar]

[RaksitYar]

[MustardChef]

You ran the command incorrectly.

[RaksitYar]

I didn't even pay attention =). A strange error occurred. Copied from the message.

This error is repeated on two other devices.

[MustardChef]

I was able to download and install the same build successfully. Not sure why this error occurs for you.

[RaksitYar]

Last time I installed WSA PacMan together with WSA. Can it somehow affect now? at this point i have already uninstalled WSA PacMan

[akshayrathnavas]

I can confirm that even I am having the same error with the builds. I have tried the following.

WSA_2311.40000.5.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-Magisk-26.4-stable-MindTheGapps-13.0.7z WSA_2311.40000.5.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-Magisk-65207f96-canary-MindTheGapps-13.0-RemovedAmazon.7z WSA_2311.40000.5.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-Magisk-26.4-stable-NoGApps-RemovedAmazon.7z WSA_2311.40000.5.0_x64_Release-Nightly-MindTheGapps-13.0-RemovedAmazon.7z

I have tried updating 7zip to the latest, tried latest WinRAR, and also extracting the zips to various locations, like C:\WSA, Documents\WSA, E:\WSA too

@MustardChef @RaksitYar I was able to solve this issue using:

https://github.com/WSA-Community/WSAGAScript/issues/28#issuecomment-992113337

[MustardChef]

I will close this issue now. This problem should not occur on the latest LTS builds of WSA.
