Unable to package Skype with the MSIX Packaging Tool using the provided template

Hi,

I have this Skype application with me, and a given packaging template with the following properties:

 

 

<PrepareComputer DisableWindowsSearchService="true" DisableWindowsUpdateService="true" />
  <SaveLocation PackagePath="C:\ProgramData\Tools\MSIXPackagingWorkspace\Skype Technologies S.A._Skype_8.110.0.218.msix" TemplatePath="C:\ProgramData\Tools\MSIXPackagingWorkspace\Skype Technologies S.A._Skype_8.110.0.218.xml" />
  <Installer Path="C:\Users\mhb\Desktop\Skype\Skype-8.110.0.218.exe" Arguments="/SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART" />
  <PackageInformation PackageName="Skype" PackageDisplayName="Skype Technologies S.A._Skype_8.110.0.218" PublisherName="CN=AppMPackageCertv2" PublisherDisplayName="Skype Technologies S.A." Version="8.110.0.0" p4:PackageDescription="Description" xmlns:p4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/msix/msixpackagingtool/template/1910" />

 

 

 

But while letting the MSIX Packaging Tool run the installer, it doesn't seem to stop and the tool keeps running indefinitely as we can see in the logs:


Even though we can see that Skype actually has installed successfully in the background...

 

The original installation command was: 

"Skype-8.110.0.218.exe" /SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART

P.S. Running the tool manually lets the installer finish successfully and I can progress to the next steps 


Am I missing something?
