Can't install appx generated with Cordova through Visual Studio

0

I've created a Cordova application in Visual Studio and now I want to test it on my Windows Tablet.

I've generated the files I needed to install the app

enter image description here

I've copied the files to my tablet and run the powershell script, but then it stops with this message:

Installing app...

This is what I have in my powershell around line 388

378    try
379    {
380        if ($DependencyPackages.FullName.Count -gt 0)

385        }
386        else
387        {
388            Add-AppxPackage -Path $DeveloperPackagePath.FullName -ForceApplicationShutdown
389        }
390        $AddPackageSucceeded = $?
391    }
392    catch

Solved it myself by removing the application first. Seems like the application can't have a duplicate name on the machine. There is a way to solve this, which is explained here:
