title: Installing Ganache.appx on Windows 10
body: <p>I am using the following command in PowerShell to install Truffle's Ganache on my Windows 10 machine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\mabel\Downloads\Ganache.appx"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whenever I run that command I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFD, A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied.
      Deployment Add operation with target volume C: on Package Ganache_1.0.1.0_x64__zh355ej5cj694 from:  (Ganache.appx)

  <p>I digged a bit deeper for a diagnosis and ran the command Get-AppxLog -ActivityID 1e4d6f55-8379-0000-3191-4d1e7983d301, and got the following log details:</p>

  <p>The windows forum recommended me to make sure Windows is fully updated, the last time I updated it was an hour ago. </p>
  
  <p>From the link in the error it says "A specified install prerequisite couldn't be satisfied." I have all the prerequisites to install and run testrpc/ganache cmd line. Are there any steps I need to take before installing Ganache UI?</p>
