Package query API

Learn about the package query API, which you can use to get info about the app packages installed on the system. Each app package contains the files that constitute a Windows Store app, and a manifest file that describes the software to Windows.

Important You can't use this API in a Windows Store app. If you're creating a Windows Store app, use Windows.ApplicationModel.Package and Windows.ApplicationModel.PackageId.
