Hello,

were there any additional errors in the output window?  if not, could you open up the event viewer (Windows key + x), select event viewer. Expand the nodes Applications and Services Logs | Microsoft | Windows | AppxDeployment-Server.  Select the node Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational.  Are there additional errors?  You might want to deploy the app again and repro the issue to easier match the date and time in the event viewer. 

much appreciated,

mike
