We're trying to evaluate the latest Advanced Installer as a solution for our MSIX packages. We were initially unable to get MSIX packages to work with 15.8.
We watched this fantastic video in which an MSIX package is built from scratch in 67 seconds (the same instructions can be found in Create an MSIX package). After following these steps, we have an MSIX package that deploys something and runs. As it turns out, it doesn’t deploy our product, and the application that runs is an empty screen.
We then assumed that there may have been "one or two" steps left out. So we tried adding in things we thought might be missing after reading through Professional Installation. As it turns out, we now have the same problems that we had with 15.8. When we try to run the application, we get the same error:
This error message is symptomatic of trying to launch our UWP app directly and not as a deployed app package.
We're pretty sure that this is something simple that we've missed. We unfortunately cannot figure it out. We've looked through community posts and community samples but did not find anything that addressed this issue. We've also looked through the FAQ/User guide and for an instructional video that addressed this.
We'd appreciate anyone who points us in the right direction.
Kind regards,
John
