MSIX self heal issue
- Aug 26, 2020
Hi santosh94
The old MSI installer should be completely out of the picture once you converted it to MSIX.
The self-repair probably triggers because you have both the MSI and the MSIX version of the application installed on the machine (and something from the MSI wasn't correctly installed). Try installing the MSIX package on a clean machine.
Also, as a good practice, it is recommended you always use a clean virtual machine to convert a package to MSIX. You can use the native Hyper-V support from Windows 10 or any other VM provider (Vmware, VirtualBox, etc...). This will ensure greater accuracy for the contents of your new MSIX package and also better/clear test results for the new MSIX package.
