Msix structure error: No parent folder found
Getting this error when I try to add an MSIX Package to the host pool.
{"code":"400","message":"ActivityId: XXXX Error: The MSIX Application metadata expand request failed on all Session Hosts that it was sent to. Session Host: HOSTNAME-1, Error: Msix structure error: No parent folder found for MSIX package at path ≤\\\\STORAGEACCOUNT.file.core.windows.net\\appattach\\Apps\\putty.vhdx≥."}
I think that I've verified that the host has access to the file share & that the digital signature is valid. Those seem to be the common reasons for similar errors. The error "Msix structure error: No parent folder found for MSIX package at path" does not return search results.
I missed step 7

msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath <package>.msix -destination "f:\FolderRequired" -applyacls
