MSI-X app crashes when calling Office app
Hello, I've repackaged my app to MSI-X app attach and loaded it into an Azure Virtual Desktop. The app works fine however, when calling Word/Excel it just crashes with no error. I've attached th...
Any idea? Most of our apps have an export function to XLS, DOC etc. And in none of the MSIX packages this is working. I may have to revert everything to App-V again 😞
- Seeing FRF in your package name, I am guessing that your app is using the PSF. Child apps launched by your app, by default, will run inside the container. Office executables need to run outside of the container. Assuming you have source code access to your app, you should be able to overcome this by starting a cmd that starts the app. If you are passing files to the office app, there may need to be path adjustments in the cmd to adjust for out of container pathing.
- Hi Timothy, yes the package is using PSF because the executable has to run with specific parameters.
Unfortunately I don't have source code access to the app, I guess I'll have to wait for Office 365 MSIX support. And maybe use shared container by that time? The problem is that 90% of our apps call Office for some functionality.
