[wix-users] WiX and APPX

[Mohamed Shouman]

Hi Rob, All

I just want to clarify on what you have mentioned ( forgive my ignorance )

1. Are you saying that WiX directly cannot trigger .appx (which works on
say Windows store for example) thus giving ability to transition same
source code to .appx?
2. Does the extension you mentioned create .appx packages that can work in
Windows store e.g. in Windows 10 ? If so, how is this extension different
than having WiX directly do the work (I am unclear of the advantages of WiX
generating .appx directly vs extension you mentioned) i feel i am missing
something
3. Is the extension open source or need to work with FireGiant to get access

Thanks
