Winamp didn't work, and that's as simple as VLC so this whole process seems very very spotty.
Has anyone packaged a more complex program from an exe or msi to MSIX and had it work?

Hey DBR14,
no, thatโs exactly the problem with msix ๐

Thatโs why nearly all of my customers where I have done a POC stepped back to SCCM or similar ๐
But...maybe Iโm wrong ๐
