I sideloaded a uwp app to my Win 10 Mobile Lumia 640. Later I went to update it and I got an error (see below). I uninstalled the app from my phone by the long click/uninstall method. I tried again (and several more times) but I keep getting the following error...
----------------------------------------

Installing app...
Remote action failed. 0x80073CF9
Windows cannot install app data for package Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe to volume D: because it is already installed to volume C:.
0x80073cf9 Cleaning up dependencies. Cleaning up app package. Cleaning up remote target components. Disconnecting. Done.
-----------------------------------------------------
Looks like an issue with the Dependency: 'Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00', which surprises me. I am assuming the internal ram is drive C: and the SD Card is drive D:.
Does anyone have solution to this error?
Begin Edit
Followed the documentation on this page...
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-s/library/windows/desktop/hh454036.aspx
...under the Sideload your app package section it has the following sentence.... To install an app to a Windows 10 Mobile device, use the WinAppDeployCmd.exe
...which takes you too... https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/mt203806.aspx
This was my command line entry...
winappdeploycmd install -file "D:\ProgDev\VS2015\Projects\BwMinWin10\BwMinWin10\AppPackages\BwMinWin10_1.0.4.0_Test\BwMinWin10_1.0.4.0_x86_x64_arm.appxbundle" -ip 192.168.0.222 -pin xxxxxx
This worked the first time I installed it.
I did a winappdeploycmd list -ip xxxxxxxxxx but I did not see (or maybe didn't recognize) the program listed so I did an uninstall from the app menu by pressing on the tile and choosing uninstall.
End Edit
Below are my suggestions:
1) Which commands do you use to uninstall or update the package? Do you try with winappdeloycmd to uninstall?
2) What happens if you install app on C:?
2)Could you clean the winphone's cache?
3) Which OS version is on your device? Could you please update it to the highest version? Currently there is a latest build for Windows Phones: Build 10536.
Looking forward to your update.
[UPDATE]
I tried on a device and I can reproduce your problem. It seems there is something wrong when depolying to a removable device via WinAppDeployCmd. When I WinappdeployCmd to "phone", everything works fine. However, if I set "install app on SD", I got the same error when updating or reinstalling. I will try to communicate with internal team for this issue. If any update, I will let you know. For now, the work around should be using WinappDeployCmd to install app on "phone"(default "C:"). If you want to debug on SD, you can deploy in Visual Studio.
geezz.. the format for responding needs a major rethink. so i'll put this in an answer instead.
So I tried again. Same error.
So then I went and uninstalled Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe which lives on the C: drive using winAppDeployCmd. This uninstall was successful! yeah!
I then ran the install again I got the same error saying it could not install Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe to the D: drive because it was already on the C: drive. Boo!
So I am still stuck trying to sideload this app. :-(
