MSIX app attach Azure portal integration public preview
Noticed following error. I am using the sample Google Chrome MSIX app. Do we need to specify Icon path?
Log Name: RemoteDesktopServices
Source: Microsoft.RDInfra.Messaging.MessagingDispatcherMiddleware
MessagingDispatcherMiddleware Exception=Microsoft.RDInfra.Shared.Common.RestError.RestException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: iconPath ---> Microsoft.RDInfra.Shared.Common.RestError.InnerRestException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: iconPath
Mounted Image is unmounted after few seconds
I can see from the logs that chrome is succesfully mounted.
MountDisk: Image ≤\\ket-dc-vm1\shares\msixapps\GoogleChrome_68.46.66.0_x64__74vyvr5aw93s6.vhdx≥ mounted. Volume path is \\?\Volume{8059ccf8-39ba-11eb-baa2-000d3a97f6e9}
But in few seconds I see that image is dismounted.
RefDispose: Image ≤\\ket-dc-vm1\shares\msixapps\GoogleChrome_68.46.66.0_x64__74vyvr5aw93s6.vhdx≥ has refcount 0, performing dismount, volumepath \\?\Volume{8059ccf8-39ba-11eb-baa2-000d3a97f6e9}
- Negative on the icon path. Does the mounting and quick dismounting happens while you are adding the MSIX package from the MSIX image (vhd) to the host pool aka during publishing. If yes that is expected. VHD will become "permanently" mounted, and package staged only after it has been published and set to active.
hello Jantu123 Stefan Georgiev
exactly the same behavior : vhd is dismounted just a few seconds after having been mounted.
RefDispose: Image ≤\\vm-subvs2\msix\bignotepadplusplus.vhd≥ has refcount 0, performing dismount, volumepath \\?\Volume{8e3d4485-b134-4bbf-a8ab-3649f240588d}
wait for explanations.

biginquebec130, thanks for confirming that you are having the same issue where successfully staged/mounted apps are dismounted after few seconds. So there are at least three of us with same issue. Mika_Seitsonen_S also earlier confirmed that he had same symptoms.
Unfortunately I have run out of spending limit in my test Azure Subscription so I have to wait for few days before I can continue testing...
- At what phase your notice this? if it is during the adding of the MSIX package to the host pool when we parse the metadata it is expected. Once the MSIX image has been added to the host pool, package has been assigned to an app group, is when the permanent staging will happen.
Jantu123 thanks for your updates! I've struggled with this also and I'm still not successful and I seem to be hitting same kind of issues that you've come across although I have Windows Server AD environment. My long posting here few days disappeared for some reason. Here is current update.
I noticed yesterday that on Preview portal, H2 Gallery images are also available. I wonder how long they've been there? After adding H2 Session Host to my existing pool, WVD agent version older but now overnight it's been updated to 1.0.2743.1300. Is there a way we can we update it manually? I also keep on seeing icon related errors even though I'm using sample VHDX/VHD from local share on Session Host. This morning I've started playing around creating MSIX packages for existing installation but learned that at least for our own package, it wasn't straight forward operation. Actually process went fine but trying to use app attach ended with some different errors related to resources.pri file missing. I've asked our developer to create MSIX directly from source code.
Thanks for confirming that we are seeing the same type of issue. I also tested with my own msix Image and the results were unfortunately still the same. No remoteapp Icons visible, and after succesful staging and mounting, image is dismounted with refcount 0 message. So I expect that you will notice that issue is not related to sample msix app.
I have seen published msix remoteapp icons appearing for a short while (actually all 4-5 published Remote apps appeared at the same on last friday for two test user account) and even managed to launch app succesfully once but then in few minutes icons disappeared in Remote Desktop client when I refreshed again the feed leaving only My test Start menu published Remote app icons. Because I did not do any changes when this happened the issue should be on wvd management plane.
I have decided to give up and wait for Microsoft to figure out & hopefully fix whatever is broken.
Happy christmas to you Mika, We are from the same country and I have participated on your training classes in the past.
Jantu123 Please files a support ticket on this via CSS. Will be interesting to take a look at what is going on. IF that is too much overhead can you share your hostpool name and session host, and username (end user) in a private message.
