MSIX Hero 1.3.0 is now available. Below are key changes of this release:
Improved modification package generator
The modification package generator has been heavily improved in this version. The dialog has been cleaned up an more options have been added.
- Ability to specify display names for the package and publisher fields separately from “identity” values.
- Ability to add extra files.
- Ability to add extra registry entries (from .REG file).
- Ability to create empty folder structures (only when creating a manifest file).
Some values which were displayed in previous versions of MSIX Hero (for example the architecture) are not there anymore, as modification packages do not require them. Additionally, a few reported bugs related to the modification packages handling have been fixed.
Create modification packages from command-line
Modification packages can be created from UI and from the new command line verb newmodpack, which exposes all options the UI offers.
Other changes
- Fixed a problem with the package list loosing focus when switching to other windows.
- The button Run package is now inactive when the current package does not have any Application (for example when it is a Modification Package).
- In various dialogs, if there is any field which has an incorrect or a missing value, its tab is now highlighted.
- In most of dialogs, the validation messages are now clearer about which value they refer to.
- Restored missing asterisks for required values in some dialogs.
- Update impact dialog now shows the correct message after pressing the button without specifying source packages first.
- Headers in dialogs are now more “compact”, the labels are not displayed anymore.
- In the Pack MSIX package dialog, the checkbox Sign this package is now in the Source + target tab (consistent with some other dialogs).
- Minor visual adjustments of the Analyze update impact dialog.
- General stability and performance improvements.
