Microsoft’s replacement for the ubiquitous MSI, MSIX, requires the use of code signing certificates to deploy the packages. This is part 2 of a two-part series on MSIX and Certificates. This one is aimed at IT Pros and part 1 was for Developers.
Part 2 Introduction
IT Pros have generally not needed to really deal with code signing certificates. …
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 shims to alter the behavior of the application without needing access to the app source code.

Yesterday I wrote a post (https://www.tmurgent.com/TmBlog/?p=2921 ) because of concerns regarding App-V and MSIX over comments made by a Microsoft employee at MMS. At the time I said “don’t panic”, and was working behind the scenes to see if we could get a public clarification over what I knew couldn’t be true.
Last night (for me here in Europe; …

Instead I find myself in Switzerland training enterprises on how to best prepare and deploy applications using a combination of Microsoft App-V and MSIX technologies as they exist today. Yet I find myself inundated with requests for comments by enterprise customers concerned over a series of tweets from attendees at the MMS …
Just a quick note to point out the article I wrote for my friends at Advanced Installer regarding Certificates and MSIX. It is Part 1 of a two-part series.
Here is a link to Part 1, which is for Developers. There will be a Part 2 for IT Pros repackaging into MSIX.…
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.
Two potential issues that …

I didn’t expect to write this article so soon! More on that later, let’s get to the juicy stuff.
