Installing Side-Loaded UWP in Advanced Installer

The usual way to install the app would be to run "Add-AppDevPackage" in Powershell, and the script then runs the appxbundle file.

Is it possible to install a UWP this way, or is there a better way of accomplishing what I want? Here is what my custom action looks like.
