If you’re like me and you wanted to download Age of Empires 4 to play with your friends on Game Pass you might have run into this error. You start the install and for some reason its not progressing. You go to check on your progress and see there’s an error.
Maybe you restart the app, your computer or choose a different install location (I did all those things). Still no luck.
UIltimately this is the fix that worked for me. Credit to these Reddit and Microsoft Community posts:

1.Run Windows Powershell in admin mode (I did this by starting it up, and then right clicking on the icon in my task bar to create a new instance in administrator mode).
2. Close the Xbox app.
3. Enter this command: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
4. Wait for it to complete and try the install again.
