Windows 10 2004 - MSIX Not Updating -Please check whether the Msixvc support services are installed.
We use MSIX for one of our LOB applications at my organization. We recently updated some machines to Windows 10 2004 to test it before rolling it out to the rest of the company. One problem we have noticed is that repeatedly that if we update an MSIX package on these systems and then issue a second update, the second update always fails. The event viewer logs multiple errors, most just being generic "the msix package failed to install", etc. However, there is one peculiar one. We found it under: Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational Event Id 497 Error 0x80070002: Opening the Msixvc package from location AppName_x64.msixbundle failed. Please check whether the Msixvc support services are installed. In addition, this is logged under AppXDeployment - Operational: Event ID: 302 Failed to start system service: appxsvc with error: 0x8007045B We could not find any documentation on this error anywhere on MSDN. To work around this, we have to restart the machine. Afterwards it is able to update the MSIX package. Is this a known issue with Windows 10 2004? Can anyone here provide more information or can they provide any suggestions on how to stop this from happening? Edit: We also had a user go ahead and update their machine to Windows 10 2004 without notifying us and now they are getting the same problem as well. Edit #2: I also left this in the feedback hub in Windows 10; if there are any additional channels that I should use, please let me know.
Host Custom UWP Controls in MFC MDI Project using XAML Islands
This article explains how to modernize MFC MDI project with custom UWP Controls through XAML Islands. With custom UWP controls, it allows us to define control layout easily through XAML pages. Not only putting standard UWP controls into the custom control, we can also integrate other custom controls as well, such as latest WinUI controls. We will use a new Xaml Application project to bring the custom UWP controls into our MFC project. This article has mentioned how to use the new XAML application in Win32 C++ application, we will give more detailed steps for MFC project.
