Is there a way to create executable file for UWP[C++/xaml] application?


I am trying to find a way to provide .exe (executable) file without side-loading the application or going through microsoft app store publishing process.

Also if its not possible, which type of App platform provide this facility.


Solution

  • It's not possible for UWP applications. You must generate an app package and install it via side-loading (if you don't want to go through the Store). You could create a WPF application (or many other types of applications, for that matter) to have an executable at the end of the compilation.
