Download an appx application locally to be used in SCCM CB

I got some inspiration to this blogpost from:
http://woshub.com/how-to-download-appx-installation-file-for-any-windows-store-app/


Here is an easy way to download an appx from Microsoft store.
This can be used to add an appx application in SCCM CB and the distribute it to devices.

Why all this hazzle, when you can get the app from the store?
Quite simple: our company policy don't allow app update over the Internet

Requirement:
The application must be installed, to be able to copy the download link.

Next:
Search for the application and chose share.
(Sorry for the danish. Lommeregner = Calculator)

In the share dialog box, select copy link

Browse to this URL: https://store.rg-adguard.net/ and paste the URL into the textbox

Find lines with the version number you would like to download and place them all in the same folder.
Also download the files for x86 & x64

or an easier way....
from a Win10 device.
Fire up Powershell as an admin.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name *calculator* | select PackageFamilyName | clip

Browse to this URL: https://store.rg-adguard.net/ and paste the PackageFamilyName.

Copy the folder to your SCCM source directory and create the appx application.

If you get this error here, then just go back and include the right version in the source folder.

It is important to download all the files for arm, x86 & x64!

Next step is to create a new application in SCCM.








Update with the required information.



click next, next... to complete the creation of the appx application
