Hi, The AppX engine is not public like Windows Installer. So there is no point in a custom implementation and additional features are out of the question.

Hi Silvio, Your EXE has the same version and size in both installers. This is usually a bad thing because it may lead to unwanted behavior.

In the meantime, send us an email at support at advancedinstaller dot com with more details about your project and a link. Perhaps we can work something out.
