Deployment by Appinstaller cause URI handling popup without the app link
I have a win32 app wrapped into MSIX by MSIX packaging tool for using the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/web-to-app-linking feature.
After installing the app by .appinstaller file I got a popup "How do you want to open this website?": there is no application that I have installed.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/app-installer-file-overview content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AppInstaller

However, if I install the app directly by the .msix the app link listed in the popup

Hi vshmelev ,
I just tried installing your app and the web-to-app linking worked for me in both cases (with the .msix and with the .appinstaller), so it seems like your package and App Installer file are okay.
You can file feedback through Feedback Hub using the category "Install and Update" \ "App installation issues". When filing the item, recreate the problem so that it will collect relevant traces and attach them. After you do, you can send me a link to the item so we can investigate it.
