[MSIX] Apply custom fixupΒΆ

Manually apply a custom fixup to the application of the MSIX/APPX package. Get the necessary fixup that is not listed in the current version of PACE Suite from the Package Support Framework Github page.

The fixup will be applied using the Package Support Framework (PSF) - an open source kit that allows applying runtime fixes to the repackaged Win32 app that fails to run in an MSIX container.

Important

Precondition: Open the MSIX package in MSIX Editor (see Open MSIX/APPX).

  1. First, go to the Package Designer > Files and folders tab and import the downloaded DLL file of the custom fixup into Package Root of the MSIX/APPX package. For this, follow the instruction [MSIX] Import files.

    msix-editor-files

  2. Then, switch to the Package Designer > Apps and fixups tab.

    msix-editor-apps

  3. Select New fixup > Custom fixup from the context menu of the application that fails.

    msix-editor-apps-context-menu-2

  4. Click Browse and select the imported Fixup DLL file. Then, enter the required fixup Configuration in JSON format. This configuration will be stored under the "config": {} key of the config.json PsfLauncher configuration file. Then, click Save.
