ERROR_INSTALL_REGISTRATION_FAILURE

ERROR_INSTALL_REGISTRATION_FAILURE means the package could not be registered for the target user or deployment context. The package may already have been staged, so the detailed deployment log is needed to determine which registration step failed.

Registration problems are commonly tied to manifest data, user context, package state, or an earlier deployment error.

What to check

  • Use Get-AppxLog with the Activity ID and identify the first inner error from the registration stage.
  • Check the installed package identity and registration state with Get-AppxPackage.
  • For development or repair scenarios, use the documented Add-AppxPackage -Register workflow only with the manifest from the installed package location.
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select-Object Name, PackageFullName, InstallLocation
