exec-appx

Executes a Windows Store application (Appx).

Prerequisites

This library requires PowerShell 5.0 (or higher) and support for the Windows Store.

Installation

npm install exec-appx

Usage

execAppx(appID, args = [], options = {})

Example usage in script:

import { execAppx } from 'exec-appx';

await execAppx('Mozilla.Firefox');

[!IMPORTANT]
For some applications, the AppX manifest specifies multiple executables. To deal with this special case, pass an object as the first argument.

await execAppx({
  	appId: 'Mozilla.Firefox',
  	specifier: 'firefox.exe' // or the index in the filenames array
  })

Options

See child_process.spawn documentation for details.
