Execution alias for hosted application
I am trying to create a hosted application (i.e. with a HostId attribute) with an execution alias. The hosted application in general works, i.e. I can launch it from the start menu link that is gener...
I don't really do things with HostedApps, but hear is a guess.
It is possible that the uap10:parameters are not being used when started via the executionalias.
You should trace the activity of the alias launch to see if that is the case. If so, you probably want to try putting in a launcher exe application in the package to perform the hosted launch.

How can I do that?

That is unfortunately not an option: I am using the hosted apps because they can be unsigned, but only if they don't contain binaries...

- Again, Hosted Apps not my thing...
1 - TRACING. Probably ProcessMonitor on the user machine. I'm not sure how the mechanism works. If not that, then a protocol trace (like Fiddler) might show you.
2 - Well if you signed the package you could ;).
It would be a good thing to trace from the shortcut and from the alias. If the parameters are missing, you then have solid documentation to provide as feedback to Microsoft.
