Why not create an msix directly rather than going via msi?

Hi @Andrew-web-coder
I understand that you're trying to publish an MSI installer to Store but are facing issues in the process.

• Trusted signing is a new feature to help with simplifying the signing process.

• When trying to package to MSIX, have you tried packaging your app using Windows Application Project?

• If using the MSIX Packaging tool, you might want to try this , for adding custom assets.

Hope this helps! We would love to hear about your experience with these features.

@charlesroddie Because it's a Tauri app (https://tauri.app/) and Tauri currently doesn't provide appx or msix creation.

@fiza-microsoft The overall developer experience was so terrible that I'm giving up on the idea of making useful and free apps.

All you had to do is to allow the msi files to be uploaded and convert them to whatever you want on your side. But apparently that's too much to ask of a company that makes billions of dollars a year.
