MSIX package and shortcut icons
I see some strange behavior and can't explain why it is not working. I am playing around with the MSIX package and shortcut icons. I created them using the Visual Asset generator (https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9mz6qrqtdkf2?hl=en-US&gl=US) and copied them to the Assets folder. When configuring the shortcuts with the files, the shortcuts and package logo stays blank. When I open the manifest and point the entries hardcoded to the files the icons appear. Like this config below. <Application Id="PSFLAUNCHERTwo" Executable="PsfLauncher2.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication"> <uap3:VisualElements AppListEntry="default" BackgroundColor="transparent" Description="Fair Prod" DisplayName="Fair Prod" Square150x150Logo="Assets\Edge-Square150x150Logo.scale-400.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\Edge-Square44x44Logo.scale-400.png" VisualGroup="FCA"></uap3:VisualElements> </Application> But when removing the ".scale-400" part of the files, the icons would not appear. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong here?29Views0likes1CommentPsfLauncher and shortcut to url
Did not yet tried myself, but does anyone know if it is possible to create a MSIX shortcut, which does start a url to e.g. www.google.com using the default browser? Maybe with psflauncher and config.json configuration? I now use a cmd, containing ‘start https://www.google.com’, which does work. But maybe this can we made easier?Solved58Views0likes2CommentsMSIX write HKLM in the bubble?
Already trying for some days, but can't make it work. Or is it not possible al all? I have MSIX in which (in the bubble!!!) i want to set hkcu and hklm registry settings. For hkcu it is working, but hklm is not writable. What i do wrong or is this not possible at all? I first want to know if it should be possible. If so, i can share my psflauncher and config.json config files.Solved94Views1like7CommentsMSIX dynamic start menu configuration
With AppV it was possible to configure profiles at the streaming server and assign shortcuts/start menu entries from the AppV package to AD groups. Is it possible to so something similar with MSIX? So a MSIX package has four start menu entries abcd. Member of AAD group X get shortcuts ab Member of AAD group Y get shortcuts cd Anyone has an idea if this can be done by some scripting?53Views0likes2CommentsHow to provide preference (pre-configuration) setting with new MSTeams.MSIX deployment.
When the new MSTeams.msix is depolyed as providioned AppX package, the settings provided are default, like auto_start, keep_app_running_on_close andopen_app_in_background. Is it possible to provide a config with the MSTeams.msix installation so that e.g. auto_start=false, keep_app_running_on_close=false? Anyone has experience with it and knows how to deploy those settings configured for the user after startup in: "$ENV:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\app_settings.json" and HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\SystemAppData\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TeamsTfwStartupTask\State=0 disabled, 1 disabled or 2 enabled.2.1KViews0likes1CommentMSIX Shared Package Container for normal user
As an administrator i tested the following which does work: 1 have an AppX package installed withPackageFamilyName 2 have an MSIX package installed withPackageFamilyName 3 Created an SPC and put in bothPackageFamilyNames and add to system After starting the AppX application i see the MSIX content is mergend an can be used in the AppX. But above is for Administrator working...but how about a normal, non-admin user? For a non-admin user actions 1 and 2 are working, but option 3 is not working since you require administrative rights. Anymone who can replay and tell me how I can get a SPC work for a non-admin user? Or is that not possible and Microsoft assumes everyone is Administrator?2.2KViews2likes12Comments
