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

Hi 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.  Here is the MSIX file with the app.  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 

     

    Then save the file off using default settings.  This would attempt to create the folder \\server\share\somefolder\packagename_2 and this causes the access denied.

     

    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.  Your test team can re-sign the package to test, or contact me and I'll send the self-signed cert and password.
