Greetings,
Bear with me as I am new to MSIX. I have an application that has one assembly and one winform exe application that uses the assembly. I added a MSIX installer project to the solution, and using it as the start up, the application runs fine in debug mode. In release mode after rebuilding everything, I republish the MSIX as a sideload, so it can be placed on a shared folder later. The publishing succeeds, but when I go to test it on another machine, I get the message "Error in parsing the app package."
What exactly does this mean? Are there any logs to look at? How do you troubleshoot this error being as cryptic as it is?
I put together a stupidly simply windows app and built a MSIX file around that. It works with no issues, even after making changes and republishing the MSIX installer. Could the issue with the other project be the fact I have an assembly and an exe? Could it be the NuGet packages that each are using? Any assistance would be appreciated..
Thanks

@TIMOTHY MANGAN I have looked in AppxDeployment, AppxDeployment-Server and AppxPackagingOM, but I do not see any events for the installer. I even took the step of re-running it to see if any new entries would be entered, but I didn't see anything. I am guessing whatever the issue is, it is occurring before it is able to log any event data... Could it be some sort of permissions issue?
