Launching a binary inside a different package
Is it possible to launch a binary (present in a different application) from a full trust application installed via MSIX? Say I have two applications A and B, such that: A has two executables e1 (main/entry executable) and e2. B has two executables e3 (main/entry executable) and e4. I want to launch e4 from e1. How can this be done?1.3KViews0likes4CommentsInstalling asset package individually
I have created a set of packages (a couple of .appx and a .appxbundle) using the packaging layout as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-layout. I was trying to install using the individual .appx instead of directly using the .appxbundle to install all the packages together. - Installing appx via double click While doing this, once I have installed the main package and try to install the asset package, the installer dialog says the app is already installed. - Installing appx using powershell command 'Add-AppxPackage' While using this, it does allow me to add the main package first, and then the asset package after that, but I don't see the hard-link for the asset package content in my main package's install directory in WindowsApps folder. (When I install it using the appxbundle instead, I do see the hard-link to asset contents in the main package's directory). How can I individually install the main and asset packages, and still have the proper hard-link for the asset contents in the main package?

As per the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/msix-1709-and-1803-support, MSIX is supported on Win 10 1709 and above. However APPX was supported on versions earlier than 1709 as well. Now there is no option to the manual tool (makeappx.exe) that guides it to generate MSIX or APPX. How can I be indeed sure that I have generated a MSIX package and not an APPX package.24KViews0likes4CommentsIssue with installing a bundle with resource package
I created a bundle using packaging layout as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-layout, and used self-signed certificate to sign the appx and appxbundle. In my packaging layout, I have 4 packages (1 main, 1 asset, 2 resource). Now, when I try to install the generated appxbundle, I see this error (also attached a screenshot below): "App installation failed with error message: Merge failure for shared merged PRI file : error 0x80070002 : Cannot register the MySuite.MyApp_1.0.0.0_x64__cw6ywnn9zbvyp package because there was a merge failure with the following file: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MySuite.MyApp_1.0.0.0_x64__cw6ywnn9zbvyp\resources.pri (0x80070002)" If I remove the resource packages from the layout, the error is not seen, so it seems like the error is due to the resource packages.

I am trying to manually create MSIX packages using the packaging layout as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-layout. I am able to create APPX packages using the "MakeAppx.exe build" command, but am unable to find any option which can help me create MSIX packages instead. Please guide how MSIX packages can be created.

Is there a way to differentiate between the appx and msix packages, other than checking the extension of the package? I was looking for some way to check if the package was actually created as a msix package, or was just renamed from .appx to .msix, but could not find anything in the content which could help me check this. Please guide if I'm missing something.Solved24KViews0likes6Comments
