MSIXUpload & PreRquisites

[jtellier]

It looks like Prerequisite msi packages that were added the installer are ignored in the msixupload file when sent to the store. Then if you create an msix file and try and use the Package Dependencies it requires that package to be published to the store? Anyone know how to include a small package, in my case, WinTun as a prereq for an app that needs to be published in the Microsoft Store.

Hello,

Unfortunately, MSIX does not have support for prerequisites.

You can add other packages as a dependency for your package, however:

- the package must also be MSIX/APPX

- the package must already be in store so it can be installed

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

So I tried packaging an MSIX from the WinTun installer and it wont allow me to publish because there is no "AppEntry" but there would not be an app enter because it is simply a WnTun network driver.

Hello Jeremy,

Unfortunately, as far as we know, it is not possible to package a driver as an MSIX.

Additionally, we do not quite recommend repackaging drivers. The reason for this can be found in our "Repackager Best Practices" article.

Please let me know if you have other questions and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Catalin
