adding appx to apps

[JamesC53]

I have a Windows appx that I'd like to add to the apps profile of several devices.

I can get it to load to the Meraki cloud but when I try to save I get

"There were errors in saving this configuration:

• newApp_21: Invalid file type appx"

I have the identifier listed.

.msi and .exe files work fine.

I'm told that an msi file for this package will not be available.

Just not getting anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with how Meraki handles appx packages. But if it won't install in the traditional way from Systems Manager, you might need to script it.

Something like add-appxpackage -path D:\Your\File\Path\example.appx

Make sure to add quotations around your path if there is a space.

Play around with the syntax a bit to make sure it works the way you want. I don't know what your setup is, but there would need to be either an external app repository all the computers can access or you would need to copy the file to the computer first and run it locally. It can get even more into the weeds if it needs to be installed per user.

Hope this helps as an alternative!
