How to specify registry entries inside the package created by MakeAppx.exe
We are using MakeAppx.exe (manual packaging) to author MSIX package. Our earlier installer (scripted) used to create registry entries under the hives HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (file association, CLSIDs, preview HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (The list is attached). Please guide how we can configure these with the manual packaging route. Is there any way to author the registry.dat.Re: How to specify package type (.msix or .appx) using manual packaging tool (Makeappx.exe)

The MSDN document for manual packaging specifies that MakeAppx.exe can be used to generate both MSIX and APPX packages. However it is not clear as which option can be used to guide the tool to generate these different package types. Is there any such option? We tried this by changing the extension of the output package specified in the command line (/p abc.appx or /p abc.msix). There seemed to be no difference in the content of the generated packages.Re: failed to process request 8bad0031 with Win7Msix
