Re: Troubles Creating MSIX Package from Scratch
We got a little further by changing the App entry point, filling in the "Universal Windows" section, and filling in the application folder in install parameters for "Build_MSIX_App" (i.e. there is a dropdown at the top, and one can specify install parameters for each build). We'r...
