I have a similar problem to NET MAUI fails to run on Windows.
I downloaded VS Community 2022 Preview v.17.3.0 Preview 1.1 (latest) and created a .Net Maui app from the template. I expected this out-of-the-box application to build without issue. I get an error message: "The required framework "... nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.0.3\buildTransitive..\tools\MSIX\win10-x64\Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.0.msix" failed to install. [0x80073CFE] error -2018574325: Windows cannot process a deployment operation because the package repository database encountered an unrecoverable error". I reinstalled VS 2022.
Rebuilding works fine. The msix package created by the "Deploy" command reports missing dependencies. Can anyone help, please? I could not find anything helpful when searching on the error number.
