Please check whether the Msixvc support services are installed

Issue Description

I am trying to create MSXI installer for .NET WPF application. I have published the .appinstaller file successfully, but the window below shows when the installer is clicked.

Cannot open app package

Reason: Error in parsing the app package.

Analysis

Open powershell in the installer folder, and then run the command Add-AppPackage .\WapProj.appinstaller

Add-AppPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF0, Package could not be opened.
error 0x8007000D: Opening the package from location WapProj.appinstaller failed.

Among the output above, "Please check whether the Msixvc support services are installed." may be the key point.

However, how to check whether the Msixvc support services are installed? If not installed, how to install it?

Reproduction steps

• Step1: Create a new WPF project (name: WpfApp1) with VS2022.
• Step2: Add a "Windows Application Packaging Project" (name: WapProj) to the solution.
• Step3: Add WpfApp1 to the reference of WapProj
• Step4: Publish the project WapProj locally.
  • 1. Select the project WapProj. Click Publish-Create App Packages... in the right menu.
  • 2. Select Sideloading - Next
  • 3. Yes, select a certificate - Create...- Next
  • 4. Select architecture "x86" and "x64" - Next
  • 5. Installer location, set "D:\MSXI" - Creat

Then, it will succeed. Open the folder "WapProj\AppPackages", and the installer file is WapProj.appinstaller. Double click the installer file, and you will get this error.
