(I know I went really over time on this one, but it was exciting!)
In about 5 minutes, excluding the intro and outro I'll walk you through what MSIX packages are, and how to create a package. MSIX is a pretty cool technology that allows you to automate installers.
Some supportings links:

Good video Kelvin, I actually hadn't heard of MSIX packaging before this :)

I’m hearing that a lot! Microsoft needs to do a better job at advertising this.

Please bump up the volume levels! You can check the deviation from KZfaq's "normal" level by right-clicking the video and selecting "Stats for Nerds". This one is -11dB, the last one was -20dB.

Still figuring this out, I'm getting the same feedback from some people. I'll be getting a Microphone arm soon. :)

Good video I benefitted from it but I think it would be easier for the viewer if you maximize the VM screen. If you have time Please create a tutorial for msix app attached.

Thanks for the instructions, I'd love to know where you can get a "$25 certificate" from. I've been looking around and $65 USD /year seems to be the least expensive. With no signing it will not allow you to install. I tried generating a self signed certificate, installed it on the VM but it still doesn't allow the app install "Either you need a new certificate installed for this app package, or you need a new app package with trusted certificates". The MSIX packager seems to be pretty buggy, I tried installing a simple piece of software and it took 3 attempts after crashing. Even the first step when launching the MSIX tool crashed when it couldn't install the driver. I think the solution was to setup the VM with a switch bridged to my NIC. I'm sure there is work arounds but knowing Microsoft, it all takes digging.

For the example of Chrome, is this compatible with administrative templates for chrome? Some of them modify the location of certain parts of chrome, like the profile path.

Yes, while it's in its own bubble, it can still check the registry for policies and such. :)

Any chance there is a way to install for all users? I've had trouble with Windows apps in the past (Sonicwall MobileConnect, for example) installing only to the current user. I would like to deploy these over MDT before the workstations reach their intended domain.

Yes, there's Powershell commands to install MSIX for all users.
