Bon, une fois installé, et vos sources applicatives pretes à etre “repackagées “ au format APPX, voila ce que la documentation MSDN nous dis..

par exemple pour un MSI (IsoCreator.msi) voila la syntaxe préconisée:

et hop….voila le transcript des logs, en mode verbose, mais qui montre bien les différentes étapes par lequel le systeme passe pour effectuer la conversion:

Warning Summary:

W_ANYCPU_FORCING_64_BIT_APPLICATION

Managed executable ‘C:\vfs0\Program Files (x86)\Bunny-Wabbit\ISO Creator 1.0\IsoCreator.exe’ can run as a 32-bit or 64-bit application. Forcing 64-bit application package for converter compatibility. Use the ‘-PackageArch x86’ command line parameter to create a 32-bit application package instead.

La création se lance…et finit par rendre la main en indiquant les répertoires de création des packages convertis…ici C:\tmp\ISOCreator\ISOCreator.appx

Et c’est donc ce package que l’on va pouvoir ajouter dans un provisionning package pour remplacer son application native initiale…

Si l’on double clique sur le package:

erreur de certificat, ce qui est normal;

le CN indiqué dans la syntaxe faisait mention d’un CN=TEST, qui bien sur n’est pas fonctionnel ici, il faudra regénérer un package soit avec un certificat de votre PKI interne, soit en utilisant Signtool.exe du SDK de windows.

Mais le process de conversion fonctionne apparement bien…à valider sur un environnement complet afin de pouvoir tester les limites de cet outil.

Bonne Nuit à tous,

Pierre.
