MSIX Helper by Provolve IT
The MSIX Helper is developed for software developers and software package engineers responsible for deploying their (legacy) applications using the new Microsoft MSIX packaging format. According to Microsoft, MSIX is a Windows app package format that provides a modern packaging experience for all Windows apps.
The MSIX package format preserves the functionality of existing app packages and/or install files in addition to enabling new, modern packaging and deployment features to Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms apps. MSIX enables enterprises to stay current and ensure their applications are always up to date. It allows IT Pros and developers to deliver a user centric solution while still reducing the cost of ownership of application by reducing the need to repackage.
