Quickstart

From zero to a fixed, signed MSIX in three steps.

  1. Install from the PowerShell Gallery

    Install-Module -Name MSIXForcelets -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module MSIXForcelets

  2. Fetch the tooling (one-time)

    The published module stays lean — the Windows SDK packaging tools and the Package Support Framework binaries are downloaded on demand:

    Update-MSIXTooling        # Windows SDK: makeappx, signtool, msixmgr
Update-MSIXTMPSF          # Tim Mangan Package Support Framework
Update-MSIXMicrosoftPSF   # Microsoft Package Support Framework

  3. Open, fix, repack & sign

    $cert = New-MSIXSelfSigningCert -Subject 'CN=Contoso' -Password 'pw'
$pkg  = Open-MSIXPackage -MsixFile 'C:\Apps\WinRAR.msix' -Force

# apply a ready-made fix...
Add-MSIXFixWinRAR -MSIXFolder $pkg.FullName

Close-MSIXPackage -MSIXFolder $pkg.FullName -MSIXFile 'C:\Apps\WinRAR_fixed.msix'
Set-MSIXSignature -MSIXFile 'C:\Apps\WinRAR_fixed.msix' -PfxCert $cert
