MSIX Office 365 (addins)

Hi, sorry for posting a lot of questions. I'm just trying to figure out some stuff that MSIX can do, as we are trying to move away from App-V 5 which is not all that easy.   Next up is Office Addin...

Hi martijnk79 Thank you for posting. We currently do not support this scenario. We do not recommend you package Office and its addins as an MSIX. Office is working longer term on adopting MSIX through a phased approach in a way that addresses Enterprise needs without disruption.

    Any updates on this? More and more organization now are planning to upgrade to Win 11 and MSIX in the same time. Considering that there are lot of business critical apps that also install an Office addin, this could be a big blocker for them in their journey towards MSIX.

    Dian Hartono Any reason why not.  It would make Office365 mountable in seconds with AppAttach and patch management a breeze 🙂
