Microsoft Store has closed. How can I install apps manually?

[Evermore]

Hi all,

By using the following command and downloading directly from the source below, I was able to install apps manually without the store. However, some of them will not open and shows an error instead. Can someone please try to install the app AccuWeather for Windows 8 below (for example) and let me know exactly how to do?

Yes. The 2015 version is the only that actually install, however it shows an error when the app is opened. This same issue happens with many other apps if you try. My Win 8.1 is in pt-br, yet I will show some screenshots so you can see it for yourself. I have enabled the policy group to allow trusted apps to be installed, as well. Have you succeded installing this one?

On Event Viewer, the error seems to be "license problem".

Try to install dependencies ( VCLibs, .NET ) via PowerShell.

Have you succeded installing this one?

Actually, nope Apparently AppxSvc isn't running even tho it is. Cba to fix it.

There are many different versions of VClibs and .NET. Which one should I install?

The command to install the app along its dependency should be this one? Correct?
add-appxpackage C:\(.appx path) -DependencyPath C:\(dependency .appx path)

And how do I run this "CBA"?
