STATUS_NEEDS_REGISTRATION

Deployment must establish registration first

Windows returns STATUS_NEEDS_REGISTRATION from application packaging, registration, cache, or activation handling. The operation depends on package registration metadata that has not yet been created for the target user or machine context. Copying package files alone does not create that state.

Verify manifest location, package identity, user registration, dependencies and deployment scope. Use supported registration or deployment tooling rather than editing repository files.

Registration is user- and scope-sensitive. A package installed on disk may still lack registration for the current user, so compare deployment scope and user registration before repairing package files.
