Re: Windows App Certification issues
I have not figured out yet what is triggering the resources.pri error in WACK. However, our app was accepted by the MS Store, so I won't dwell on it. The image issue seems to be this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15067357/adding-all-images-to-the-package-appxmanifest-results-in-a-compiler-war...

MSIX dependencies for offline installs
What is the recommended method for handling msix-based installs when the computer is offline or there is no access to the MS Store? Our app depends up on the VC++ runtimes. We could distribute the VC++ appx, but it can't be installed by double-clicking because it says to close the app installer, at ...

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe
An MSI project has a window where you select to sync the version number from an EXE. A Store project has no such window.

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe
This is a great feature. Can it be extended to Microsoft Store projects? I'm currently using a Professional Project instead to avoid the need to write script to sync the version. The Store project is preferred, though, due to its simplicity.

Re: Windows App Certification issues
Ah, I see. That is helpful. I experimented with my installation settings and was able to prevent the need for the stub to be used. Still learning about MSIX... I'll continue testing and see if I can get the image issues to go away. I may just recreate the project.

Windows App Certification issues
I'm working on replacing our MSI projects with new MSIX projects created from scratch. When running the Windows App Certification kit, I receive several errors. First, is it possible to disable or remove the stub exe files? This is a basic installer and shouldn't need a stub. I also get the followin...

Re: Path variables
Ok. So using path variables *forces* to it use a path variable, even if the file is in the project root. Because there is no path variable defined for the project root, it uses WindowsVolume. It took awhile to find the Path Variables dialog, but now I see what's already defined. Thanks for the quick...

Path variables
I've been using AI for several years now and there's one thing that I've never understood. Let's say I create a new project. All the source files will be located here: C:\SourceFiles So, I set this path as the Project Root Path and I enable Path Variables. When I drag files into the installer, it tr...

Re: Changing Shortcut working directory based
Thank you. Took several tries, but got it working. The key was to place the custom actions after the Paths Resolution action. For anyone who finds this, below are the steps I did, which may not necessarily be the best, but they worked for me. Change names to whatever. Create property: SHORTCUT_WORKI...

Changing Shortcut working directory based
I want to change the working directory of a shortcut based on the build. Normally it will be PersonalFolder, but for one build it will be a subdirectory of the PublicDocumentsFolder. I haven't found a way to do this at build time. Do I have to create a custom action to set this property based on whe...

Re: OS version message
Is there something that would cause the order of these checks to be different? Both have 64-bit only set for the package type and both have only 64-bit operating systems selected in the launch conditions. I noticed the older install gets further into the process before failing. I believe it fails af...
