ERROR_INSTALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGE_APPLICATIONID_NOT_UNIQUE

ERROR_INSTALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGE_APPLICATIONID_NOT_UNIQUE means an optional package duplicates an application ID already used in the main package or another optional package.

This is a package-authoring conflict. Fix the package manifests and rebuild the related set; removing unrelated installed packages does not make duplicate application IDs valid.

What to check

  • Compare the Application IDs in the main package and all optional package manifests.
  • Give each application declaration a unique ID within the related set, then rebuild the bundle or App Installer definition.
  • Retest the complete related set together so that the rebuilt metadata is consistent across every package.
