The ask is to understand so that I can explain it correctly to our training students. I had believed that the tool also needed to be installed on the remote machine.

Sep 23, 2021Yes, the remote machine needs to have the driver. If it is not already installed, Windows Update needs to be enabled to install it, but only the first time. You could also do an offline installation of the driver beforehand. If the MSIX Packaging Tool is already installed on the remote machine, it may have already installed the driver and the remote server would not need to install it.
