whittak222 We don't recommend converting Office to MSIX.  Office is working towards MSIX, but we do not have public timelines to share at this time.

jvintzel Has there been any changes to this yet? 

 

I've packaged apps that are in .exe format and are available as a stand-alone. Now I need to package Office 2016 that has a range of files with different extensions. MSIX Packaging Tool is asking to choose the installer I want to package. What should I actually package? 

 

Similarly, I also want to package Visual Studio 2019 using MSIX Packaging tool.

 

Please assist.
