When we capture installer activity for the purpose of creating a package to deploy on another device, the possibility of causing new issues exist. We rely on the tools that we use for the capture/packaging, the runtime environments we use on the target, and the “smarts” of the person doing the packaging to avoid these issues.

I didn’t expect to write this article so soon! More on that later, let’s get to the juicy stuff.
The Package Support Framework, or PSF, is an open source project hosted by Microsoft up on GitHub. The PSF is useful when building MSIX packages for older Win32 and .Net based applications. It allows you to build in Detours based …
Those paying attention might know that I started a project last summer to contribute to the MSIX Package Support Framework, an open source project that Microsoft hosts up on GitHub.
I spent a month writing code to improve the PSF, and then started the long process of getting it pulled into the master source. It, uh, took a little longer …
Running Win32/WPF applications in a container like MSIX is different than when running installed in the traditional way. While there are benefits, the container also can cause issues with applications when you simply repackage them without making changes to the application source.
In The MSIX Report Card for 1809 , I took a look at the results of such vanilla …
PowerShell has an annoying, to me, idea about security. Yeah, yeah, we all love security, blah blah blah. But…
But I make heavy use of my own PowerShell scripting for use in my Lab.
I even wrote my own PowerShell module (see PassiveInstall ) to simplify much of the scripting I do around automating application installs and configuration for packaging. …
Last week I released my Report Card on MSIX, a comprehensive look at how MSIX measures up today. A work in progress, MSIX can handle some of the applications that you are deploying today. And it is sure to get better in the future. But what about your apps specifically?
I’ve taken the lessons that I learned from all …
Today I am releasing the first of what should be an annual series of “Report Cards” on the state of the MSIX space.
You can get and download the report from this link.
This report covers the state of the three basic aspects of MSIX:
