[wix-users] [Appx] Application cannot read files from install dir on startup

[Karthikeyan Vedi]

Hello Everyone,

We have a .msi built on WiX and is perfectly fine, with the recent
announcement of msix by microsoft, we have decide to adapt it's technology.
We have managed to create a .appx from the Wix source using FireGiant.Appx
by following the steps as mentioned in FireGiant's website.

We were able to create a .appx file and the installation is all
good(assuming! all required files are present in the C:/Program
Files/WindowsApps/AppName Folder).

However, While launching our application reads few config file present in
the install directory. The issue is that the application installed through
.appx launches, the splash screen comes up but fails to read the config
files present in the same directory as the executable.

(Executable does not modify any files, It only reads from the install
directory).

Can anyone help here, to why it is not able to access the file from install
directory ?


Thanks,
Karthikeyan
