Hey Everyone, I rarely ever have to post on Forums to get answers but I am at my breaking point. I am trying to package SPSS26 which is licensed through a KMS Server into an MSIX. I have used the MSIX packager as well has PACE Packager. I can succesfully get this into an MSIX, and install it on another machine but no matter what I do the shortcut it creates will not run properly and does not run with the license. I get an Inet 0 error. Now the weird part is if I go to the WindowsApps folder where the MSIX installs and run the Stats.exe that the shortcut points to it launches perfectly. Now I cant expect users to have to go into 10 folders just to run SPSS so it obviously needs to show up in the start menu. I have tried packaging up powershell scripts to run the stats.exe I have changed the working directory (I think I did this correctly) I have tried a lot of things but I am just exhausted from this. The amount of times I have reverted back to my clean VM is crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am stuck and there is absolutely nothing online about this, also IBM has been zero help and will not help me with this.

Hi @Coop2667580, if your shortcut takes in an argument, this is currently not supported: MSIX Packaging Tool Known Issues and Troubleshooting Tips - MSIX | Microsoft Docs
You can try to use a Package Support Framework to launch Windows Apps with Parameters - Package Support Framework - Launching Windows Apps with Parameters - MSIX | Microsoft Docs

@Dian Hartono I have not been able to find any arguments for the shortcuts. When I install SPSS on my VM to capture it I do the LICENSE switch and Server Switch but thats it from then on the stats.exe reads a SPSSLic.config file to read the server IP.
