is COM registration possible ?
Hello,
I created an MSIX for my app which is a 32 bits Desktop application.
I have done it, the application install and launch correctly but I have one problem with a dependency.
My application uses a video filter to record MP4 files. This filter should be registered (rgsvr32) during the install but I don't know if it is really possible with MSIX... I think that we could only write in a "private" registry area.
Can someone explain me how to achieve that or why it is not possible ?
Thank you,
In order to expose COM outside of your msix package, you must add metadata to your msix manifest.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-com-comserver and related COM manifest elements.Thanks!
