Creating a Windows Template File for MSIX Packaging

When working with Microsoft's Modern Deployment (MSIX) packaging tool, it is essential to create a template file that meets your specific settings and needs. This article will guide you through the process of generating a template file that works for you.

The `EnforceMicrosoftStoreVersioningRequirements` setting instructs the tool to prompt users for passwords for the Virtual Machine and signing certificate if required but not specified. The template file is copied to the SaveLocation directory for future use, and cannot be set when other attributes are used.

To create a conversion template file, you can either manually edit it or use the MSIX Packaging Tool's UI. There are two ways to get a template file that works for you: generating one with each package creation or using a sample template and entering your desired configurations manually.

When using the command line option, you need to provide a template file so that the conversion works with your specific settings and needs. On the other hand, if you choose to use the MSIX Packaging Tool's UI, you can perform the conversion in two ways: interactively or through the command line.

Before generating a conversion template file, make sure to select an installer and pass a silent flag to your installer to generate the template file. Additionally, ensure that the `Generate a command line file with each package` option is selected.

To manually edit the conversion template file, you can specify a separate save location for your template file on the Create package page. You will also need to make some modifications based on what MSIX output you want at the end of each conversion.

By following these steps and guidelines, you can create a Windows template file that meets your specific needs and settings, making it easier to work with MSIX packaging in the future.
