Running Windows Store client apps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by permiek 4

I am trying to automate the running of Windows Store client apps (installed using the Store). My current app is the Remote Desktop. 

I have successfully setup running non-store apps (with command line parameters) but with store apps I cant see where they are  installed to use this method. 

 

Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to try and work out where they are installed ?

 

Thanks

    Better to find the executable location of the app.

    I do not have it installed but can you check if mstsc.exe opens the one from the Windows app store or does it open the other default rdp window.

    Thanks for the reply. It opens the default rdp which is why I need to open the Windows Store version. I will find out where they are installed.

     

    Thanks
