Q&A :
24:37 - 26:02 - With regards to signing the packages: if we're using a code signing certificate to sign our MSIx packages and deploy them with MECM, what happens when that certificate eventually expires? Do the existing MSIx packages need to be resigned and redeployed?
26:03 - Is it possible to run PowerShell scripts with MSIX packages in elevated mode?
27:00 - Which app capabilities can be used for repackaging win32 apps to MSIX?
28:20 - Do you know if there are any plans to extend MSI-X to allow device driver deployment?
29:22 - Which applications are not compatible with repackaging to MSIX. For example applications
with drivers?
30:25 - Is there a way to specify that an MSIX-package application *is* allowed to view/edit the file system and registry (basically overriding file/registry virtualization)? For example, a disk utility.
31:55 - Are you looking into App Attach technology for Windows Virtual Desktop?
33:32 - Well, if the elevated mode is supported when the application is launched, then it will be possible to install MSI files or drivers?
34:34 - Can you talk a bit about the integration of PSF in your product, and what it could fix?
36:48 - Can I run a script or code during the cancellation of the installation?
37:01 - So far MSIX package doesn't capture any user files and registry like adddata, localappdata so how do we manage to install user data?
38:06 - How can the application in the MSIX container be instructed to use the real or virtual registry?
39:51 - I'm sure most people watching this webinar own/use InstallShield. Can you explain the benefits of Advanced Installer over AdminStudio?
41:31 - If a certificate from a 3rd party CA for code signing, is there any particular CA we shouldn't use. For example, is cert from Go Daddy okay?
42:18 - Will the application delivered by MSIX be able to read the unique registry created during the installation process?
43:23 - Thanks for your considerations about running scripts in an elevated mode Actually I thought drivers can remain on the system after uninstalling MSIX packages. The same applies to some embedded MSI packages which may deploy certain components of common use. We apply this approach when deploying App-V packages so I wonder if it can be applied also to MSIX...
44:10 - Can PS scripts be added to MSIX packages using Microsoft Packaging Tool or is it possible to do only using Advanced Installer?
46:23 - Are you looking into App Attach technology for Windows Virtual Desktop?
48:21 - If you could help with the difference between Advance Installer and MSIX tool
51:51 - How well can MSIX handle Excel add-ins. I am referring specifically to where the name of the value in the registry is enumerated, like under a value called 'Open, Open1, and so on'
53:25 - I have Admin Studio already so no need for the Architect version of your product but I like your MSIX stuff. Will you make the MSIX Repackager available on its own?
55:28 - Can MSIX be used to install ActiveX components?
