TMEditX is the licensed and so much more capable tool for fixing up MSIX packages; better than PsfTooling since it doesn’t have to depend on the Microsoft MSIX Packaging Tool to create the final package. [Download_page]
- Feature: Improved support for signing using DigiCert KeyLocker cloud service by locating the KeyLocker tools from the registry.
- Feature: Added support for custom signing commands to help those using “other” signing tools. This is a new option on the Signature type, if you can figure out the command to sign manually, enter it here and we will append the name of the package to the end of the command line that you enter in the field.
- Fix for packages containing folders with special and international characters that are stored in an escaped form in the compression (e.g. Notepad++). The 5.1 release used a new technique to speed up unpacking of the input package but failed to take into account special characters in some filepaths.
There was a bug in the logic to handle special characters that caused issues if the special character was in a folder rather than a filename. International characters also needed a fix. These are now both fixed.
- Fix for RegisteredApplications fixup when the installer registered special file types that are not allowed under MSIX (like directory).
- Support for packages originally created by Master Packager (and possibly other sources) with upper case letters in the GUIDs.
- Support for packages without a virtual registry file, such as some produced by Visual Studio.
- Fix display for checkboxes on the Properties tab; the labels should not change when selected.
- Fix the text written into the AppXManifest element for “AllowExternalContent“; while Microsoft documentation calls the value a boolean (meaning “True” or “False”) it is actually must be a 1 or a 0 according to the schemas.
- Change: Adjusted unpacking progress bar for large packages while processing ingredients.
