Create msix package manually without GUI or msi installer


Can anyone give me a hint how I can manually define a msix package? My application has no msi package (yet), so I can’t simply convert it. Is there a way to create like a configuration file where I define manually which files need to go into the msix package? The MSIX GUI Creator doesn’t give me enough control either. Any link or help is highly appreciated


Solution

  • The easiest way is to use the free executable makeappx.exe from Microsoft which is able to create msix and appx packages from a directory where your application is located in
