ERROR_INSTALL_OPEN_PACKAGE_FAILED
ERROR_INSTALL_OPEN_PACKAGE_FAILED means the deployment service could not open the .appx, .msix, bundle, or package source. Microsoft documents this as a package-opening failure and recommends inspecting the AppX deployment logs for the underlying reason.
The top-level code can represent a missing file, inaccessible path, invalid package data, or a signature and packaging problem; the Activity ID log is therefore essential.
What to check
- Confirm that the file exists locally, can be read by the installing account, and has not been altered after signing.
- Use the Activity ID returned by the failed deployment to retrieve the exact inner error from
Get-AppxLog. - If the package itself is invalid, rebuild and sign it again rather than manually editing the archive.
