Package your Apps to Deploy on the Microsoft Store
Leveraging installation tools, developers can package applications as MSIX/APPX for streamlined deployment to the Microsoft Store.
Microsoft Store Apps, also known as Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, use a special development framework to enable distribution via the Microsoft Store (formerly known as the Windows Store). This simplifies the installation procedure for end users, eliminates the need for manual setup scripts, and ensures compatibility with a variety of Windows devices. Software developers who use the UWP strategy benefit from a centralized distribution channel, simpler deployment, and a larger potential audience. Using installation tools to package your programs as MSIX or APPX files makes it easier to submit compliant applications to the Microsoft Store.
Several Installation Tools offer packaging for Microsoft Store Apps including:
