Downgrade MSIX app setting
Hi,
I am working on downgrade scenario. I am trying to install notepad++7.8.4 and 7.8.8. I am trying to install 7.8.4 over 7.8.8. I am getting "latest version is installed" and launch the application.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kragunath Version downgrade is supported on Windows 10 2004. The functionality to let a user double-click and downgrade an app was added through an app update. Make sure you have the latest version of the Desktop App Installer app for this experience.
I believe the latest version is: 1.0.32912.0
You can verify from PowerShell by running this command:
Get-AppPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller

What version OS are you testing on?
I don't remember if that was added in 1909 or 2004 but I am pretty sure there is a minimum on the downgrade feature.

Thanks for your response. I am testing in Win10 2004. I will check on lesser version and confirm.Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN ,
This link says that downgrade is supported in Windows 10 2004.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/supported-platforms
We are proposing MSIX to existing and new customers in our organization. We would like to have some concepts cleared before proceeding. Any help would be appreciated.
