AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | MSIX Editor

Applications are the entry points into the MSIX package. These work like shortcuts to launch the application.

Specify the following attributes for an Application:

Application View Attributes
Attributes	Description
Id	The unique identifier of the application within the package. This value is sometimes referred to as the package-relative app identifier (PRAID). The ID is unique within the package but not globally. There may be another package on the system that uses the same ID. The same ID cannot be used more than once in the same package. This string contains alpha-numeric fields separated by periods. Each field must begin with an ASCII alphabetic character. You cannot use these as field values: "CON", "PRN", "AUX", "NUL", "COM1", "COM2", "COM3", "COM4", "COM5", "COM6", "COM7", "COM8", "COM9", "LPT1", "LPT2", "LPT3", "LPT4", "LPT5", "LPT6", "LPT7", "LPT8", and "LPT9".
Executable	The default launch executable for the app. This file must be present in the package. If you specify this attribute you must specify the EntryPoint attribute. If you specify this attribute you must not specify the StartPage attribute.
Entry Point	The activatable class ID, such as ""Office.Winword.Class". If you specify this attribute, you must also specify the Executable attribute. If you specify this attribute you must not specify the StartPage attribute.
Start Page	The default launch HTML page for the app. This can be a relative Windows file path referencing a document in the app's package, or it can be an absolute URL. The URL can only be starting with http://, https:// or ms-appx-web://. This is the entry point document that will be loaded by WWAHost when starting a WWA for that app. Technically, the value may be a URL or an IRI-the non-ASCII version of a URI. An IRI must support up to 2084 characters and must be allowed to contain the %, and reserved and unreserved characters. If you specify this attribute, you cannot specify either the EntryPoint attribute or the Executable attribute.
Resource Group	ResourceGroup is a tag that you can use to group extension activations together for resource management purposes (for example, CPU and memory). If you set Support Multiple Instances to True, this property will be disabled.
Subsystem	Indicates whether the app is a standard UWP app or a UWP Console App. If you select Console App, then Support Multiple Instances has to be True.
Support Multiple Instances	Indicates support of multiple, separate instances of UWP apps.

Specify the following attributes for an Non-EXE Application:

File	Click ellipses(…) and select the file (.bat, .cmd, .txt, .html, .docx) that you want the application to point to launch while launching. This is a mandatory property.
Argument	Specify the command-line arguments that you wish to pass to the file specified in the File property. The Argument is property is applicable only for the .bat and .cmd file types. This is a mandatory property.
