MSIX file

[Leonard Yates]

I have been using INNO to produce an installer that is an .exe file.  Now I need to produce a MSIX installer file.  Is there any way to do that using INNO?  (Note: I already got Microsoft's MSIX Packaging Tool and tried to use it to package my .exe file, but it refuses to accept my certificate password.  I have no idea why.)  It would be so much better if INNO could output a MSIX file directly.

No, they are separate and entirely dissimilar installation systems.

The closest that you can get is to embed an Inno EXE installer inside an
MSI/MSIX package, which may be sufficient for some purposes, but it's
not acceptable to the Windows Store, for example.

I do want to enter my game program into Microsoft Store. Does your company have any plans to make a version of INNO that outputs a MSIX file?

Inno Setup is open source, I'm sure contributions of source code to support MSIX would be appreciated.

However, it does sound like you need to get that certificate password problem fixed, as that's far more likely to bring you a quick solution.

Actually, I was thinking of the Win8 Store (which is the last time I
looked at such things).

It sounds like the MSIX Packaging Tool does support .exe based
installers, so you should be able to use that.
