About MSIX Container
In MSIX inside-out, describe about container.
Desktop Bridge App : Desktop Bridge Container
UWP App : AppContainer
MSIX Container = Desktop Bridge Container + AppContainer
I know desktop bridge container used App-V infrastructure.
Do MSIX container use "desktop bridge container" or appcontainer only?
I want to know "can replace from msi to msix. Because previous describe "msix = appx + msi".
In Accelerating Windows 10 enterprise app deployment with MSIX, describe re-package msi.
For support Windows 7, may be MSIX container is desktop bridge container + alpha.
The desktop bridge uses File system and registry filters. It does not use the App-V infrastructure.
MSIX enables flexibility in the container. You can be as light weight as file system and registry filters or move more into a capability model like the UWP app container. For very secure scenarios we will enable a isolated container similar to what Windows Defender Application Guard uses.
If you use the MSIX SDK to extract an MSIX on Windows 7 it does not get any containerization support. It is just offering a method to reuse the same MSIX file for multiple distributions.
