Custom AppInstaller UX
marvin_r Thanks for that. I'll have to do more investigation. That teams package does set the MaxTested field, so it is possible there is an undocumented requirement here.
Update. The xml file used for the MsixAppInstallerData.xml must be utf8 with without the bom. This is what was causing the AppInstaller to reject the file. I documented how I am using this in a blog post here: How to Brand your MSIX Custom UI Installation – Confessions of a Guru (tmurgent.com)
PS: The desktop AppInstaller program outputs information to the debug console port when it works. This issue was identified by using DebugView when bringing up the Desktop AppInstaller against the package which showed that it didn't like the XML. This trick will be useful for anyone having issues with the customized feature.
