Azure Virtual Desktop Application source option inactive

Question

Hi,

In AVD --> Under HostPool --> Application group --> when trying to attach a remote app to the AVD. The application source option is inactive and shows only MSIX package rest options can't be selected. Attached is a screenshot for reference Screenshot 2023-08-29 143847.png

Hi

the likely reason is that you are trying to do this on a Desktop Application group - MSIX is the only option you can select if this is the case. When using a RemoteApp application group, you can choose the other options.

See Step 5 in this guide for a description:

Hope this helps,

Thanks
