Is there a way to detect what Windows Store apps are installed on a system with native C# calls?

Question

I'm trying to replicate the functionality of the Get-AppxPackage and Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage Powershell cmdlets for a C# application I'm building, but have no idea how to even get started.

I can't use the C# Powershell API because of this problem , so I'd like a native C# solution if possible.

Answer 1

You can use the Windows.Management.Deployement.PackageManager to find, remove, install, etc. packages from code rather than from PowerShell.

The Enumerate app packages sample demonstrates how to use this from C# and C++.

为了它的价值，我确实找到了一种直接从WMI获取此信息的方法：有一个名为Win32_InstalledStoreProgram的WMI类，它返回所需的信息
