How to Install the Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement Package

The “Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement” package is installed by default in Windows 10/11. If missing, you get the following error when installing an app (e.g., Minecraft: Bedrock Edition) that requires this package.

Deployment failed: Windows cannot install package Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_1.20.8101.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package depends on a framework that could not be found. Provide the framework "Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement".

Resolution

You can download the “Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement” package via the store.rg-adguard.net website, as explained in the article How to Download the Offline Installer for any Store App.

1. Visit https://store.rg-adguard.net/.
2. In the “PackageFamilyName” field, input the following package name:

   Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement_8wekyb3d8bbwe

3. Choose “Retail”
4. Click on the button with the tick mark.
5. Select the appropriate architecture (x64 or x86) you require. Right-click on the hyperlink and choose “Save link as” or equivalent option in your browser.
6. Once downloaded, move the package to a folder — e.g., C:\Appx.
7. Next, download the VCLibs package by inputting the following package name:

   Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_8wekyb3d8bbwe

8. Once downloaded, move the package to a folder — e.g., C:\Appx.
9. Double-click each .appx file to install it.
   If you can’t install the .appx files by double-clicking, you can install them using PowerShell. For more information, see the article Fix: Can’t Install Appx, AppxBundle, and Msixbundle Files in Windows.

   Launch PowerShell (admin) and install the above packages using the following syntax:

   Add-AppxPackage C:\"package_file_name"

   Example:

   Add-AppxPackage C:\Appx\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.33519.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx
   
   Add-AppxPackage C:\Appx\Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement_10.0.23012.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx

That should install the “Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement” package.
