Re: PS execution strategy with MSIX updates ?
Hi Bogdan Mitrache Sorry maybe my question is not enough clear : I would like to know the expected behavior of MSIX in case of any update(s) coming from the Store, at PS script execution and supposing that this PS script is tuned with only one execution at 1st installation. I would like to avoid it because asking elevating privilege (UAC) Rgds1.1KViews0likes2CommentsPS execution strategy with MSIX updates ?
Hi I tested yesterday PS script execution at 1st APP EXE execution and it is working fine. Now supposing I deliver MSIX v1.0.0 thru uSoft Store, with some features and PS script execution at 1st APP Exe execution. What will happen when I will send updates or bug fixes to uSoft, related to its PS script execution ? Will it executed again or not ?

Hi again Sorry to insist but in the post https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/tutorial-msix-custom-scripts.html nothing is said about elevated privilege (i.e. Admin right) Am I missing something ? Can we launch PS with elevated privilege once at first execution of my App.exe ? Rgds JF BAUDE4.8KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Custom action with elevated privilege in MSIX
Hi Bogdan Mitrache So if I understand correctly I will have to use both of your proposals: 1) the https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/win-store-app-declarations.html to define an https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations for firewall settings 2) MSIX Custom Scripts (see latest https://github.com/microsoft/MSIX-PackageSupportFramework) for certificates settings No other way actually ?

Hi Bogdan Most of my C.A. are adding "customer" certificates like this: ... <row><td>InstallCertifCA</td><td>3106</td><td>SystemFolder</td><td>certutil.exe -addstore -f "CA" "[INSTALLDIR]certificates\XXX_MyCertificate_CA.crt"</td><td>0</td><td>Installing Certificate CA</td></row> .... But also "granting" firewall access to our application such: <row><td>AddFirewall</td><td>3106</td><td>WindowsFolder</td><td>netsh firewall add allowedprogram "[INSTALLDIR]MyApplication.exe" "MyApplication" ENABLE</td><td>0</td><td>Setting firewall</td></row> Rgds JF BAUDE5KViews0likes9CommentsCustom action with elevated privilege in MSIX
Hi all Now I'm able to translate MSI into MSIX (thanks to Advanced Installer Express edition) ! But my actual MSI is executing a lot of Custom Actions, at installation time with elevated privilege, which are currently ignored by the corresponding translated MSIX. If I understand correctly I will have to use Power Shell scripts instead, but how ? Is it documented somewhere how to proceed with such Custom Actions ?

JF_BAUDE Hi Bogdan After so many trials the following process worked for me (and according to post https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/pur-inventoryneveraugmented/c9661417-b144-4fd0-a1a0-2dea60d39ea2 ) - Reset the Microsoft store Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > select Microsoft Store > Advance options > Reset - Sign in to Microsoft Store, but first go through your own LDAP credentials. Really strange... (I'm not sure to redo it properly) - Then downloading the package from uSoft store was good at last !

Hi again Sorry but I got an issue when trying to install 'Express edition' from uSoft Store, as you suggested in previous mail. See attached PNG for the details (sorry it is in french...) FYI, I un-installed before Advanced Installer v17.5 (30 days evaluation) from my laptop Windows 10 Enterprise v. 1809 Any idea ? Rgds6.4KViews0likes4CommentsRe: MSIX not visible in Apps & Features ?
Hi Bogdan As requested, please find attached ZIPs, one containing the MSIX not visible under Apps & Features after its installation, done thru MPT, and the other MSIX, which is visible, done thru AdvancedInstaller tool v.17.5 Rgds JF BAUDE6.5KViews0likes8CommentsRe: MSIX not visible in Apps & Features ?
Hi Bogdan I redo with my "simple" MSI with one EULA + added EXE file to be installed under [INSTALLDIR] but still the same visibility issue under "Apps & Features" I still suspect that I'm wrong using MSIX Package tool but at which step ? Rgds6.7KViews0likes10CommentsRe: MSIX not visible in Apps & Features ?
HiBogdan Mitrache Thanks for your reply. I'll do as you are suggesting below. Notice nevetheless that I used this morning (I'm located in France) AdvancedInstaller free tool, instead of MSIX Packaging tool from Microsoft, and it worked properly meaning I could see the new entry under "Apps & Feature" Rgds6.7KViews0likes11CommentsMSIX not visible in Apps & Features ?
Hi I'm a beginner in MSIX (but enough skilled in MSI design) So I started to create a very simple MSI just installing one EULA file under its [INSTALLDIR] The I used MSIX packaging tool (provided by Microsoft version 1.2020.709.0) and translated the "simple" MSI into MSIX package, and signed also with my own Enterprise certificate (the same I'm using for signing my MSIs). No problem at this stage. Installation of such MSIX is going well apparently but NO entry is visible under "Apps & Features"... I can just see it with Get-AppxPackage cmd thru a Powser Shell with Admin I guess it is a problem from MSIX packaging tool usage as installing the "normal" MSI is OK. Where am I wrong please ?
