Run PowerShell Scripts in MSIX Packages

InstallShield by Revenera is a leading Windows installation development solution that specializes in building installers and managing software packages. InstallShield offers a streamlined interface and comprehensive features, enabling developers to efficiently create professional installers, configure prerequisites, manage updates, and customize the installation experience for diverse user needs.

The InstallShield 2026 R1 release adds support for running PowerShell scripts packaged within MSIX applications by using the Microsoft Package Support Framework (PSF). Through configurable custom fixups, developers can specify which executable a script applies to, whether it runs before application launch or after exit, and how it behaves during execution. This approach allows runtime configuration, compatibility adjustments, and cleanup tasks to be performed consistently within the MSIX container, reducing the need to modify the original application source code.
