PDostiyar yes I was exploring MsfB but I couldnt see how you can get the O365 apps as an install package there - just the free Office 365 app that has links to the web apps - and the only way I could see was to publish LOB apps via the store but as I tried to do that I started down a rabbit hole of having to sign up as a developer account and then a Partner Account which takes days to authorise and im not sure it is even possible. But , publishing a MSIX app to the business store was something ive been trying and it could be part of the solution but I still need to get the MSIX package working ... unless of course im missing something and massively overcomplicating things!

PDostiyar yes I set up a clean Win 10 Home VM and used the tool on that to create the MSIX package - all seemed to go ok but I just have this issue with it reporting the App ID not being there.
I will update how I do it if/when I fix this - if I don't work it out myself I have some calls due with MS Fasttrack and Gartner this week so I can see if they can advise , so Im sure I will find out if its possible or not.
