MSIX not visible in Apps & Features ?
Hi JF_BAUDE
I never had this problem before, but if I were to guess I would suspect that having a simple EULA file as target instead of an actual executable might confuse the OS.
Can you try placing a dummy EXE in the package instead?
The EULA might trick the MSIX Packaging Tool to not detect correctly an entry point for your package and this might (I am just guessing here) not be supported correctly by the OS when you install the package.

Thanks for your reply.
I'll do as you are suggesting below.
Notice nevetheless that I used this morning (I'm located in France) AdvancedInstaller free tool, instead of MSIX Packaging tool from Microsoft, and it worked properly meaning I could see the new entry under "Apps & Feature"

- Hi Bogdan
I redo with my "simple" MSI with one EULA + added EXE file to be installed under [INSTALLDIR] but still the same visibility issue under "Apps & Features"
I still suspect that I'm wrong using MSIX Package tool but at which step ?
RgdsHi JF_BAUDE,
I am glad to hear you got it working with Advanced Installer. Our team is doing some automatic fixes for certain packages (at conversion time) but I couldn't find anything documented that might be related to your package.
Can you share download links for both the package build with Advanced Installer and the one built with the MPT? Maybe we can notice what the MPT is doing wrong.
Hi Bogdan
As requested, please find attached ZIPs, one containing the MSIX not visible under Apps & Features after its installation, done thru MPT, and the other MSIX, which is visible, done thru AdvancedInstaller tool v.17.5
