WIX Sideloading fails to deploy dependencies appx

2

I am deploying an appx package using WIX following this tutorial:

http://nicholasarmstrong.com/2014/08/sideloading-windows-8-apps-with-wix/

When I run the resulting setup on a freshly installed Windows 10 PC, the logs provide me with the following error:

When I do a manual deployment (doubleclick the AddAppxPackage powershell command), the deployment finishes without any problems. It seems that running this same powershell script through the Wix installer does not deploy the dependencies in the right manner, even though the dependencies are included with the installer.

Any ideas?

powershell
wix
win-universal-app
appx
