the components that are required to run apps are Net native framework and runtime, VClibs140 and vclibs140uwp.desktop, UIxaml 2.0/2.2. Apps dont need WIndows Store + all the components that are required for Store functionality, to work properly.
Basically the required stuff is already in the AppFolder, however, that is not how a retail "WindowsApps" folder looks like. It seems like a modified ISO image to me.
I tried copying over the WindowsApps folder with alle control panels and then later inserting it to newly installed windows without store and so on and it doesnt work by simply copying stuff inside the folder.
I even downloaded the control panels as .appX install packages and control panels in particular will install but wont start, due to some license mismatch error. Some other free .appX files will install normally and work properly.
Seems like MS doesnt want ppl to be able to use control panel apps without Windows Store beeing installed and working.
After again wasting quite alot of time, I figured that the "best" way is to include Windows Store + COmponents in the ISO image. Then download all the Control Panel apps etc through store once windows is installed and later remove Windows Store with NTlite from the live WIndows version.
Its not an elegant and out of the box working solution, but it seems to be the solution with least ammount of pita for now, until someone comes up with a better solution.
