Click the folder named "wiiu" so that you see a folder named "apps". Click this folder if you already have it on your storage device.
Then, you should see a folder named "appstore". This is the folder with the app (appstore.rpx), its meta (meta.xml) and its icon. Copy the folder "appstore" to the /wiiu/apps folder path on your storage device.
