Hi, As all the other vendors in the Packaging Tool business like Flexera, InstallAware etc. who have the support for creating PSF shims within their tool itself, can MSIX Packaging Tool also have this incorporated within it which will not requiring install other freewares for including supporting for PSF while using the MSIX packaging tool.   BR, DS2803   ...

Hi, Currently MSIX Packaging Tool has a moving part wherein the MSIX Packaging driver installation is not part of the main MSIX Packaging Tool itself. Can this be made part of the Packaging Tool installation itself if someone were to install a standalone copy of the MSIX packaging Tool.   Thank You!   BR, DS   ... View more

It would be great if I could export or open a file out of the MSIX Packaging Tool when using the editor. That way I could look at its content or the file version Information. In case its is a config file I could then change something and add it again. ... View more

Hello,   We have packaged a WPF app with MSIX and signed using a valid certificate (GlobalSign). It installs ok on Win10 and Win8.1 but not Win7 SP1. The error code is 0x8bad0042. Something wrong with the certificate...   We then tested with the (Microsoft) VLC test package on GitHub with same error on Win7 SP1.   The potential bug has been submitted to GitHub : https://github.com/microsoft/msix-packaging/issues/345 No answer yet :(   Any advice on how to troubleshoot this error ?   Really need some help, Thanks ! ...

We can put arguments into the config.json file inside the MSIX package to have the Launcher64.exe pass those arguments to the installed application when it is launched. What I need to do is pass a query string to the MSIX package from a link on a web page using the appinstaller and have that query string passed as an argument to the installed application.   We are currently using clickonce but that is not supported well in Chrome so we want to move to MSIX. Chrome requires another click on a downloaded .application file.   Brett Burgeson ... View more

MSIX has the ability to add a description via MSIX Packaging Tool and when you create the MSIX App in MEMCM, that information is added to the field automatically. Would like to request to provide the ability to attach an ICON during package creation to inject into MEMCM for the Software Center ICON for the MSIX Application.   Outside of this INCON, the rest is distribute content and deploy the application unless you have supercendence. ...

Currently MSIX deployed desktop application (eg. Winforms or WPF) are automatically updated only when app is launched by Start menu item. When user launch app by clicking on app taskbar button or on app desktop shortcut, check for update is not launched. So if new version is available and user runs app always by shortcut or by taskbar button, new version is never detected and thus never installed. This is wrong, because users strongly prefer runs app by desktop shortcut or by taskbar button. Thus I ask to implement checking for update also by clicking on desktop shortcut and on taskbar button. More description you can find on GitHub issue https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msix-docs/issues/59 Thanks ... View more

I believe the template could be quite useful outside of the full command line form of repackaging.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to use the template outside of the command line interface..   I would like to launch the tool, select a template file which then pre-fills all of the information that would have been used in the command line, but still go through the wizard.  This would be very useful for repackaging an app that has regular updates but cannot be (easily) fully automated.     ...

We have many 3rd party apps that creates addin to excel , office , powerpoint, word. So far we have been using script to instantiate object and add addin once the user logs off/login .  We also tried with run virtual key in appv 5.1 but it will always launch excel in its isolated environment which again is not helpful.   Are we planning to handle this behaviour too with MSIX ? ...

If re-packaging an app with multiple shortcuts, one of them becomes the default entrypoint to launch when the package is installed on end-user machines.  It isn't clear how that is selected, but it does look like the top one in the manifest is it.   While you can manually edit the manifest, we should prefer packagers not do that when possible.  Therefore a good solution to setting the default launch would be to provide a selection dialog in the "First launch tasks" dialog of the packaging tool.  Up/Down arrows would suffice. ...

We know that services are "on the list" of things to be added to MSIX containers.  When these are added, please consider adding a "spoofing" of the service name.   For packages not distributed via the Microsoft store, it seems reasonable that software vendors will continue to include their own licensing/copyright solutions.  But they rarely "write their own" solution and more often incorporate a component from a Microsoft partner.  The most frequent of these that we see out there is FlexNet from Flexera Software.   This solution, in the MSI world has the software vendor add some library calls to their application plus a Windows Service.  While virtual services work well under App-V, there is one issue that occurs involving this service and it would be awesome to fix this when MSIX adds the equivalent.   The issue is that, under App-V, we can only have one instance of any application that includes this service running on the OS at the same time.  A great solution to this as part of MSIX services would be to "spoof" the service name.  Let each instance have a unique name where needed, but let the application source code still refer to it by the original name and map those calls within the container to the container version.  ...
