Appinstaller Fails after 22H2 Update

Copper Contributor

Hello MSIX Community,

Recently, Windows 22H2 has been rolled out, along with the latest update on October 18th.

After installing this update, all of our company's sideloaded MSIX packages cannot be installed when opening the associated Appinstaller file.

I consistently get this error:

App installation failed with error message: error 0x80072F8F: Opening the package from location <my_app>.msixbundle failed. (0x80072f8f).

What we find strange is that the error message just gives the MSIX file name instead of the full URI.

Wondering if anyone else was experiencing issues with this. We have people internally and external users that cannot install any of our applications because of this.

Quick update for anyone encountering this issue.

I have confirmed, at least on my end, that it is related to SSL, TLS handshakes

Should be a known issue:

App Installs fine when given HTTP endpoints over HTTPS.

Now I am wondering the best way to handle this if their are suggestions. I am cautious to modify an existing Appinstaller file without bumping the version. Will likely need to push a version bump.
