LOB customer on premise #455

Closed kevmoens closed 2 years ago

kevmoens commented 3 years ago

We develop line of business applications (for manufacturers) which can be hosted on-premise by a customer. We currently use click once to allow distribution of our WPF application. We use mage.exe to create the click once package so the URL works on their server.

I have looked into MSIX and the only similar flow I saw was to use MakeAppX.exe but that is part of the Windows SDK. Is there a Nuget (for MakeAppX.exe) that I could bundle with our product when we lay down the tools they use to create the MSIX package? I don't want to require each customer to install the Windows SDK. We had done similar things in the past with Microsoft downloads and since customers will be modified and sit on a version for 10+ years we have run across where customers are unable to download the packages as Microsoft has stopped support (rightfully so).

It's huge but you can get (parts of the) Windows SDK as a NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.SDK.CPP/
