Getting the actual Package from the MainBundle URL and installing it works perfectly though.

I did a quick test by right-clicking and chose open with App Installer and it worked okay:

However, using the Add-AppxPackage is failing:

PS C:\Users\elsaco\Downloads> Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminalCanary.appinstaller
Add-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF0, Package could not be opened.

error 0x8007000D: Opening the package from location Microsoft.WindowsTerminalCanary.appinstaller failed.

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 59848a33-21a8-000c-5cb2-8a59a821db01 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 59848a33-21a8-000c-5cb2-8a59a821db01

Could be the missing digital signature. Get-AuthenticodeSignature returns:

Status                 : UnknownError
StatusMessage          : The form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust
                         provider.

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2024):

.appinstaller XML documents are not intended to be used with Add-AppxPackage--only actual package files are supported by that cmdlet.

You'll need to use the App Installer to install .appinstaller app installers.

(As a side note: .appinstaller documents do not bear a digital signature, but they do point to signed binaries with a strong unforgeable identity so it doesn't really matter.)

0x80070570 = ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT

Perhaps this is what you meant?

Add-AppPackage '.\Microsoft.WindowsTerminalCanary.appinstaller' -AppInstallerFile

@DrusTheAxe you're correct! -AppInstallerFile does the job:

PS C:\Users\elsaco> add-appxpackage -AppInstallerFile ".\Downloads\Microsoft.WindowsTerminalCanary.appinstaller"
PS C:\Users\elsaco>

No errors!
