Because makeappx.exe doesn't seem to be in the latest SDK.

Wait, what 🤔? That's crazy.

felixrieseberg commented 7 years ago

It's actually more likely that I made a mistake in this project - do you remember which version of the SDK you tried to install? The UWP tools should always include that exe, it's used by Visual Studio to create app packages.

quentint commented 7 years ago

I know!

Or maybe it's just me, but my first steps were to install the latest, then look for makeappx.exe, then start thinking I was crazy, then tried everything I could, until I tried a previous version and boom, here it was...

Can anyone confirm that?

quentint commented 7 years ago

Oops, crossed replies. I tried so many things that I can't find which version was the right one for me.

Will dig into that tomorrow and let you know ASAP!

quentint commented 7 years ago

To be sure I uninstalled everything and reinstalled the various versions, from newest to oldest.

Here's what the latest version (10.0.15063.400) offers:

No "Windows Software Development Kit" so no makeappx.exe 😢

Same thing with version 10.0.15063.0 from the archives.

I ended up installing version 10.0.14393.795 (also from the archives), which has these options:

All good now 😺

Also noticed makeappx.exe isn't part of the latest packages. It looks like this pr is adding a link directly to the french localized version of that page, probably want to update that

Thanks for the suggestion, just did it!
