IAppxBundleWriter::AddPayloadPackage method (appxpackaging.h)

  • Article

Adds a new app package to the bundle.

Syntax

HRESULT AddPayloadPackage(
  [in] LPCWSTR fileName,
  [in] IStream *packageStream
);

Parameters

[in] fileName

Type: LPCWSTR

The name of the payload file. The file name path must be relative to the root of the package.

[in] packageStream

Type: IStream*

An IStream that provides the contents of fileName. The stream must support Read, Seek, and Stat.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an error code that includes, but is not limited to, those in the following table. Error OPC codes, in addition to OPC_E_DUPLICATE_PART may result. If the method fails, the bundle writer will close in a failed state and can't be used any more.

Return code Description
E_NOT_VALID_STATE
The writer is closed.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INVALID_NAME)
 The file name specified is not a valid file name or is a reserved name for a footprint file.
OPC_E_DUPLICATE_PART
 The file name specified is already in use in the bundle.

Remarks

When the AddPayloadFile method succeeds the contents of the specified fileName are written to the package and a corresponding entry is made in the package block map.

AddPayloadPackage reads the content of the app package from packageStream and stores the content in the bundle with the given fileName.

AddPayloadPackage can fail if:

  • packageStream doesn't deliver a valid app package
  • The app package delivered by packageStream is in a different package family than an app package already added to the bundle
  • The app package delivered by packageStream is targeted to an architecture that can't reside in the same bundle as another app package already added to the bundle
  • The app package delivered by packageStream has a block map that uses a different hash method than an app package already added to the bundle
  • fileName isn't a valid file name, is a reserved name, or is already used by another app package added to the bundle
