The IAppxBundleReader interface has these methods.

IAppxBundleReader::GetFootprintFile

Retrieves the specified type of footprint file from the bundle.
IAppxBundleReader::GetManifest

IAppxBundleReader::GetPayloadPackage

Remarks

You can use the CreateBundleReader method of the IAppxBundleFactory interface to retrieve the IAppxBundleReader object.

Through IAppxBundleReader, you can retrieve both footprint files, such as the bundle’s manifest, block map, and signature, and app packages that are contained in the bundle.
