I'm trying to install some .appinstaller files via PowerShell. The appinstaller and packages are in SharePoint (requires auth). I'm unsure how to fix this. What do I need?

Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile "C:\Users\User\Downloads\App.appinstaller"

but it fails:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x800706BA, The RPC server is unavailable.

The RPC server is unavailable.

Appinstaller operation failed with error code 0x800706BA. Detail: The RPC server is unavailable.

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 4e07ee51-6ce1-0006-0edb-594ee16cdb01 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 4e07ee51-6ce1-0006-0edb-594ee16cdb01

    Hello,

    Check your rpc service.

    Open services.exe

    Find "remote procedure call(rpc)"

    If it is not running, start it.

    In case there's something broken, try this command in your cmd :

    Sfc /scannow

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
