Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN I have similar issue in my package where I have 5 shortcuts pointing to the batch file. Have you implemented the solution for this in PSFtooling now. If not could you let us know what is the solution for it so that we cam implement it directly in our package via PSF.

    Hi sidharthverma,

     

    The Express edition is a fully free version, all you need to do is to register with an email when you start using it. It shouldn't go into trial mode. Do you also have a separate version of Advanced Installer (Pro/Enterprise or Architect) installed on your machine? Maybe there is a license conflict between the Express edition and the commercial edition.

     

    Regarding the option to select a BAT file - when you try to configure/select your application do you see the following option in the file picker? It should allow you to pick EXE and BAT file, as shown in the screenshot.

    Hi Bogdan Mitrache,

    I tried using Advanced installer express edition. However, it does not allow me to build the MSIX package as it is trial version and also i am not able to edit an existing package with the trial version. I also could not find any option in the shortcuts to point to an existing batch file. It only has the option to point to executables.
