Appdata roaming and local in package
Hi Tim,
We (the Advanced Installer team) noticed this too, we actually tested only the Local and Roaming appdata folders.
To solve this and make the converted apps work we've updated Advanced Installer to automatically copy, when the user first launches the app, the files from the appdata VFS folders to the corresponding "Packages" folders.
You can try this feature if you are using AI version 15.1 or higher.
To easily test it I think you can also import the MSIX package you already have, just rename it to appx first, as we haven't yet updated our import wizards. (Import -> Desktop Bridge Package).
P.S. this auto-fix/shim is included in our free Express edition too. In the linked MSDN article Matteo explains in detail how Advanced Installer applies the fix.
