Error code C508: Unable to install the product as App package registry is corrupted

Error code C508: Unable to install the product as App package registry is corrupted

Error C508 indicates that the package repository is corrupted. This error usually occurs when the folder referenced by the registry key PackageRepositoryRoot at the following directory doesn't exist or is corrupted: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx.

Solution

First, you need to check if the registry key PackageRepositoryRoot is missing or corrupted. Once you have established that this is the case, you must reset the Microsoft Store and clear its cache. For details, see Fix error 508 while installing Creative Cloud apps | Windows.
