Hi BrettBurgeson 

 

You can reach me at bogdan at advancedinstaller dot com or you can reach my colleagues from the support team at support at advancedinstaller dot com.  Send them a link to this thread so they can catch up.

 

I'll be out of the office next week, but I will get back to you with the sample ASAP.

For anyone else interested in this scenario, here is a download link for a sample project.

 

Basically, the Advanced Installer launcher runs a script that gets the URL of the MSIX appinstaller (when a user installs it from the website where your customers will host it) and saves it into a registry, before your app launches. 
 
Now your app can read that URL and customize its behavior based on the link it reads from the registry.

    Hi Ravitejaj8787 

     

    Advanced Installer generates the MSIX packages from a project. So while using our application you usually edit the project, not the package directly. Once you finished editing and hit the "Build" button you can generate the MSIX.

     

    Why I am telling all this? To clarify what our command line support can do. Currently Advanced Installer has an extensive command line support that allows you to modify a project from which you can generate a package, but you cannot edit the package directly.

     

    Can you give us more details about the scenario you have in mind? 

     

    Regards,

    Bogdan

    Hi Bogdan Mitrache,

     

    Need your help to understand it is possible to edit MSIX package from command line using advanceinstaller.com? 

     

    Can you please share any document which help us to edit MSIX package from command line.

     

    Examplea

    1) Add/Delete a file from msix package.

    2) ADD/Delete Registry Entries.

    3) To change any property of the package.

     

     

    Thanks
