Custom action with elevated privilege in MSIX
Hi all Now I'm able to translate MSI into MSIX (thanks to Advanced Installer Express edition) ! But my actual MSI is executing a lot of Custom Actions, at installation time with elevated privilege,...
Hi JF_BAUDE
Theoretically, yes you can use the PS scripts to trigger an MSI and do whatever is not supported by an MSIX package.
But in this case, may I ask: What is the point of building an MSIX if the main functionality is still inside the MSI? Why don't you stick with the MSI delivery for such kind of packages?
You'are just adding one more layer of abstraction (by wrapping the MSI with an MSIX) that increases the complexity of your package, without no major obvious benefits.

About your question related to MSI vs MSIX, we aim to go to MSIX packging because, as claimed by Microsoft, we want to benefit of easier deployment and also faster update(s) at user level.
