ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND means the package deployment operation could not locate the package it was asked to install, update, repair, or remove.

Check both the source path and the package identity expected by the deployment workflow. A package can be present on disk but still not match the requested identity or version.

What to check

Verify the package path, URI, or App Installer reference used by the deployment command.
Use Get-AppxPackage to determine whether the expected package family or installed version is already present.
Review Get-AppxLog with the deployment Activity ID for the exact package identity that could not be resolved.
