I'm running on Windows 10 and built an .appx file. My assumption was that I'd be able to double click on the file to install it, but no file association was made. I updated my settings to allow me to sideload apps, but it didn't change anything. Am I missing something? Shouldn't there automatically be a file association?

  • you need to allow sideloading of apps in developer settings and you should have an App installer app since Win10 v1607 to install the appx via double click. if you use 1507 or 1511, update to most recent version – magicandre1981 May 06 '17 at 15:51
  • App installer app is not available for Windows Mobile. – saurabh May 07 '17 at 05:53
  • I am also not able to install when the .Net Native toolchain is 1.6 that means UWP platform target in 5.3.2 – saurabh May 07 '17 at 05:59
  • @Saurabh he is using Windows 10, not mobile. For mobile, [deploy the appx via device portal](http://stackoverflow.com/a/34292601/1466046). if you have a question, ask your own one and not enter other questions – magicandre1981 May 07 '17 at 07:28
  • Want to install app by double click then you can create a bundle file. here is a link for more detail. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-uwp-apps. – Jitendra.Suthar May 09 '17 at 05:10
  • First off, enable side loading. Next, don't click on the .appx. Instead, you should see a ps1 file in the same folder. Execute that, which will install the certificate. – karann - MSFT May 17 '17 at 15:41
