The new version of Advanced Installer comes with a new CI/CD integration: GitHub Actions.

MSIX has been available for almost four years now, since Microsoft first announced it. Although 2021 did not deliver all of the advances I had hoped for, I was pleased to see MSIX adoption continue to expand on a regular basis.

When Win32 applications run inside an MSIX container, they behave differently than when they are installed natively. Because of that, we come across errors in the operations we often perform.

With Intune, Microsoft made it easier to deploy MSIX/APPX packages in your infrastructure.

Virtual Machines are not a new concept in the business world. In fact, companies are very familiar with services such as VMWare and Citrix to handle specific tasks, like giving users access to applications.

The most recent release, which is also the first of the year, includes new features and improvements that continue to strengthen, improve, and assist software packers by providing them with a stable and mature tool.

Since all the folders need to be part of the known-VFS list, we need to use a fixup to copy those files from the WindowsApps folder (after the MSIX is installed) to the location you want.

Advanced Installer was the first application to fully support MSIX technology – and we truly believe in its power.

We've received inquiries from users that encounter issues with the SCCM cache folder.

There are often situations when you would like to install an application depending on the existing users and groups on the target machine (installing a scheduled task under a specific user or certain resources in certain folders).

On December 10th, 2021, the CVE-2021-44228 was released, documenting a major vulnerability with Apache Log4j.
