I'm trying to deploy my MAUI web application on IIS web server. The only guide I found is this : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/web-install-iis
Unfortunately in this article used .net framework 4.7 which is not acceptable for me. I'm trying to reproduce similar behaviour on my .NET 6 web app.
This is my maui installation page :
@page
@model IndexModel
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}
<div class="text-center">
<h1 class="display-4">Welcome</h1>
<p>Install<a href="ms-appinstaller:?source=https://localhost:7123/packages/Test.msix">MAUI</a>.</p>
</div>
But I'm getting this error message in msix package insulator "Error in parsing the app package.".
I'm assuming that the problem is with missed configured MIME type since I can't open the file manually from browser, but I do not understand how to configure mime types on .net 6 web app.
Guided by this article:
I configured my static file like this :
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
// Add new mappings
provider.Mappings[".msix"] = "application/msix";
provider.Mappings["msix"] = "application/msix";
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()),
RequestPath = "/home/packages/Test.msix",
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
var fileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions
{
FileProvider = fileProvider,
RequestPath = "/home"
});
But It still doesn't work, and I do not understand why.
I uploaded test project on GitHub : https://github.com/IgorMarkiv/mauiDeployTest
It's look like ms-installer protocol was disabled by Microsoft. I'm referring to Microsoft documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/installing-windows10-apps-web
So now I'm just downloading a regular file and opening manually. At least until they will fix security issues.
