Hello,

My *.exe, as the main application in a MSIX installation, doesn't execute when the shortcut, created in Advanced Installer, points to a surrogate application ID in the 'AppData' folder. These are application files with 0kB size with the same name as the *.exe sitting in the MSIX package. There is an error 'openGL not installed' when the shortcut/tile icon on the start menu opens the application using the 0kB file as the target.

When I edit the shortcut to point directly to the installed *.exe inside the MSIX package, all works fine. Why does the shortcut created in Advanced Installer point to the 'AppData' folder and how do I set the shortcut to point directly to the *.exe installed in my MSIX package?

Thanks.

Hey Steve,

If possible, could you please forward me the following resources:

- a copy of the AIP file

- a download link for the MSIX setup

by email at support at advancedinstaller dot com so I can further investigate this on our end?

Best regards,
Catalin
