Use custom appinstaller file in Visual Studio packaging process
If you're using:
Visual Studio 2019
You can add the .appinstaller file to your App Packaging Project and modify the update settings from there.
When you eventually go through the packaging wizard, the update settings you defined in the file are preserved.
Have a look at this post for more details - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Dev-AppConsult/Introducing-the-new-App-Installer-template-in-Visual-Studio-2019/ba-p/739019
Visual Studio 2017
The AppInstaller File Builder Sharla recommends is a great option to use for generating the .appinstaller file with your preferred update settings.
Hope this helps.
