Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for your reply. We have an Archtecture license from Advanced Installer. I am using v15.5. I already tried it the way shown in the video but for some reason that doesn't work. When I follow the steps it starts running the application. The application starts in Advanced Installer (Trace apps) but not when I create the MSIX and run it after installing the MSIX, so that is different. I would expect that these two situation should give the same result. And when I am in the application it cannot be closed because it cannot write an ini file. Only way closing it is to kill the process and then Advanced Installer doesn't continue the fixing for some reason.

Now I have followed the instruction in https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/uwp/porting/package-support-framework . Then I get the working directory done but not the redirection unfortunately so closing the app normally doesn't work.

Hi Rob,

 

Can you send me your advanced installer project over email at bogdan at advancedinstaller dot com?

 

If you can also send me a download link for the msix package you generated that would be great too, if not, we will try to see what is the problem with your project.

 

If a fixup is added in our AppCompat view then the app should work correctly when installed separately, just as it did when you use the trace app functionality.
