Creating an MSIX Package

DSM integrates a wizard to assist you creating a package from an MSIX file.

How to create a MSIX Package:

1. Select the software folder in the Software Library.
2. Select the task Create an Application package > MSIX Package and then follow the wizard.
3. Select a Package Template, if necessary.
4. Select the Path to the MSIX file.
5. The wizard is able to process files with a .msix extension.
6. Enter a Package name or use the prepopulated one from the MSIX file.
7. Use Timeout (in minutes) to specify the time the installation may take before the system issues the Failed message to the server.
8. Select the Support Uninstallation option if you want to uninstall the application later.
9. You can also use an icon package for the MSIX which can be selected on the next page.
10. Click Next and finish the packaging process.

    DSM creates the required script for the installation (or uninstallation) and automatically copies the MSIX file to the Extern$ directory. The MSIX file is installed (parametrized) with the Powershell.

Open the package in the Packaging Workbench to customize the script, if required.
