[1607, au] Camera App

[LeMarchand]

I don't recall how I did it, but my 1607 image doesn't include any of the W10 Apps. Was just about to announce the opening of our first W10 laptop trolley when a teacher came in to look at the machines and was impressed by the idea that they could also work as cameras. Except... the camera app got removed from the base image .

 

Anyone know how to get it back (without creating a new image)?

Download the relevant Inbox Apps ISO from VLSC, copy the two Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe files to a folder on your HDD, then use the appropriate DISM command to install the app. e.g.

 

Dism /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:C:\Apps\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle /LicensePath:C:\Apps\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe.xml

Thanks Arthur!

 

I'll give it a go. Was probably one of your posts that led to the successful removal of the rubbish - I had a feeling you'd be the one to know how to put some of it back.

Thanks @Arthur for that script. Seems to do the job; just need to work out why it won't run as a start up script. It wants elevated permissions, which I thought start up scripts had.

Are the .appxbundle and .xml files on a network share? Could that be why?

Yes... Will try a copy to local first!

No luck with local files, either . There's some weird stuff going on with at least one of the two machines I'm testing, so I'm taking a break on this. My brain might be functioning better tomorrow/after the weekend!

Weird stuff was my "install wireless network" policy failing before completion as it was taking out the wireless connection. Not usually a problem as this normally implements when the machines are wired, but I only have one USB/ethernet adapter so I was pulling it out straight after imaging each tablet most of the time.

 

Script seems to work more reliably as a post logon scheduled task, but at least it's working now.

 

Thanks again @Arthur
