Yes it is, but such app need Package Policy Control capability (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations). Also you must have direct access to appx package of app to install. Then you can use PackageManager class. But this app can't be pushed to Windows store without special permission from MSFT or you must use sideloading (installing without Windows store). So it's almost unusable...
