MSIX Runtime: support for share folder creation needed.

Question

Running a MSIX package on a domain joined machine, logged in as a domain admin. The MSIX application works with a file from a network share. The user and machine accounts have full permissions on the share (and folders). The MSIX app calls:

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(foldername)

to create a folder on the network share. This call succeeds in a native install of the application, but fails with a ACCESS_DENIED

Hi Timothy,
Can you elaborate - when do you see the ACCESS_DENIED error?

The Access_Denied error is seen in the procmon trace of the application when it makes this call. &nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;TIMOTHY_MANGAN
This sounds like something we should take a look at in more depth. Are you able to file a bug through the feedback hub using the "Recreate My Problem" option to capture logs and screenshots?

This is easier.&nbsp; Here is the MSIX file with the app.&nbsp; One would launch the app (TMEdit), and open a Microsoft App-V package from a file share, such as \server\share\somefolder\packagename\packagename.appv&nbsp;&nbsp;Then save the file off using default settings.&nbsp; This would attempt to create the folder \server\share\somefolder\packagename_2 and this causes the access denied.&nbsp;The app version in this package doesn't actually trap for this and crashes when it subsequently tries to use that folder, but the problem is the access denied.&nbsp; Your test team can re-sign the package to test, or contact me and I'll send the self-signed cert and password.&nbsp;
