A common requirement in enterprise environments is the "All Users" deployment model, where an application is installed once by an administrator and appears available to every subsequent user who logs into the device. Native PowerShell commands ( Add-AppxPackage ) behave differently depending on the scope defined, often requiring specific dependencies to function correctly in a system-wide context. Before attempting a PowerShell deployment, the environment must meet specific criteria to avoid "Dependency not found" or "Architecture mismatch" errors. 2.1.

If these dependencies are missing, the Add-AppxPackage command may fail silently or throw a generic exception. It is best practice to install the UWP Desktop and AppX frameworks prior to deploying the primary application.
