I know there are several posts where users want to install Windows Store Apps for all users. Answers were to use DISM.
In my case I can not use DISM because all clients are already deployed. If a user requests a new app at the supports center, the package will be deployed to his machine.
This package (*.appx) should be deployed to the machine not only for the user.
Is there a powershell command to achive this?

2The only way to do this I know us to run an elevated command prompt and point to the .appx file. The solution of course is create a script file that is ran when the user logs in, which will add the applications, which will run once. I don't believe there to be a solution which involves deploying to the machine rather then the user. Powershell can manage what I describe with a simple script and the command add-appxpackage

Like I said the article I found is pretty clear. It basically says there isn't a way to deploy a WS application to the machine unless you use the image method. Of course that isn't different compared to say a desktop application. You have to basically deploy the installation in a similar matter unless you build it into the application itself at least on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows XP barely had the concept of user seperation. – Ramhound – 2013-09-20T12:25:55.707
