Error code 509: Unable to install the product as the install package is not supported on this file system

Error code 509: Unable to install the product as the install package is not supported on this file system

Error 509 indicates that the file system format of the volume (such as C: drive, D: drive, and so on) in which you are trying to install the app doesn't support the app package type. You need the NTFS (New Technology File System) format to install the app package. NTFS is a file system format that helps your Windows operating system to store, organize, and find files on a hard disk easily.

Solution

Ensure that the volume (such as C: drive, D: drive, and so on) you're using to install the application follows NTFS format. If the volume doesn't follow NTFS, you may want to change the storage volume for where your installed package is saved, and then try to install the app again.

How do I check if the file system of my volume is NTPS?

  1. Navigate to the volume where your app package is installed.

  2. Right-click the volume, and then select Properties.

  3. If your volume uses NTFS, the File system displays as NTFS.

If the file system of the volume is not NTFS, change the install location to a volume that uses the NTFS file system.

How can I change where the installed files are saved?

  1. Go to Start > Settings > System.

  2. Select Storage in the left pane.

  3. Select Change where new Content is Saved under More Storage Settings.

  4. In the New apps will save to drop-down, select the volume with the NTFS file system format.

Once done, try to install the app again.
