When I try to upload my installation file to the Store, a msixbundle file, it needs a silent switch. Can't figure out what that is?

    Hello @Mark Johnson ,

    If you’re submitting the package to the Microsoft Store, you don’t need to worry about this because the Store handles installation automatically. Silent switches are mainly useful for enterprise deployments through tools like Intune or SCCM.

    If you want to install it without any prompts, you can use one of these options:

    PowerShell command:

    Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Path\YourApp.msixbundle"
    

    This runs silently without showing UI.

    App Installer command:

    appinstaller.exe /quiet /install "C:\Path\YourApp.msixbundle"
    

    The /quiet flag works like a silent switch.

    I hope this clarifies.

    To upload an MSIX bundle file to the Store, you typically do not need a silent command line switch for the upload process itself. However, if you are referring to the installation of the app once it's been downloaded, the silent installation switch for MSIX packages is generally not required because MSIX handles installations in a user-friendly manner without needing specific silent switches.

    If you are looking for silent switches for other types of installers, such as EXE or MSI, you can use the following common silent switches:

    • For MSI: /q (quiet mode)
    • For EXE: /s (silent mode)

    For MSIX specifically, the installation process is designed to be straightforward and does not typically require additional silent switches for the user experience.

    When you follow the instructions for an msix and app, it is a simple drag and drop from my desktop, no explicit upload.
