  From the docs

  Although Package is supported in desktop apps, this member is supported only in UWP apps. To access a package object from a desktop app, use Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager.

  Thank you for the answer.

  Unfortunately the FindPackages method is not accesible in a Desktop Bridge Application.

  It gives me an Access denied Exception. It does need Administrator priviliges (and Desktop Bridge Apps dont have that)

  Cheers, Johannes

  After discussing with uwp's teammates, I suggest you post your question in Q&A forum for more efficient responses.

  Thank you for your understanding.
