Right now we only support .Net that is packaged as framework packages. The older frameworks that are feature on demand need to be installed via DISM

If you downloaded the FOD you can add the path to the source to the comand line. This is good feedback to for us to look into addressing possibly in the OS or via tools like SCCM.

Hi jvintzel any news on that one? is it possible already to have one of windows feature as prerequisite during MSIX deployment? such as "Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3"?

giladke Nothing planned to link DISM features to MSIX installations. You could add it to the ideas section as a potential item for consideration. Of course in this scenario your app may now require elevation to install, as required by DISM.
