  • Get an MSIX-packaged application (.msix file).
  • A Windows device with administrative permissions to create the MSIX image.

-AddPackage

Add the package at specified file path.

-AddPackage <Path to the MSIX package>

or

-p <Path to the MSIX package>

Here's an example of using the -AddPackage parameter:

msixmgr.exe -AddPackage "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix"

-RemovePackage

Remove the package with specified package full name.

-RemovePackage <Package name>

or

-x <Package name>

Here's an example of using the -RemovePackage parameter. You can find the package full name by running the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AppxPackage.

msixmgr.exe -RemovePackage myapp_0.0.0.1_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

-FindPackage

Find a package with specific package full name.

-FindPackage <Package name>

Here's an example of using the -FindPackage parameter. You can find the package full name by running the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AppxPackage.

msixmgr.exe -FindPackage myapp_0.0.0.1_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

-ApplyACLs

Apply ACLs to a package folder (an unpacked package). You also need to specify the following required subparameters:

Required parameter Description
-packagePath The path to the package to unpack OR the path to a directory containing multiple packages to unpack 
-ApplyACLs -packagePath <Path to the package folder>

Here's an example of using the -ApplyACLs parameter:

msixmgr.exe -ApplyACLs -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp_0.0.0.1_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"

-Unpack

Unpack a package in one of the file formats .appx, .msix, .appxbundle, or .msixbundle, and extract its contents to a folder. You also need to specify the following required subparameters:

Required parameter Description
-destination The directory to place the resulting package folder(s) in.
-fileType The type of file to unpack packages to. Valid file types include .vhd, .vhdx, .cim. This parameter is only required when unpacking to CIM files.
-packagePath The path to the package to unpack OR the path to a directory containing multiple packages to unpack.
-rootDirectory Specifies root directory on image to unpack packages to. This parameter is only required when unpacking to new and existing CIM files. 
-Unpack -packagePath <Path to package to unpack OR path to a directory containing multiple packages to unpack> -destination <Directory to place the resulting package folder(s) in> -fileType <VHD | VHDX | CIM> -rootDirectory <Root directory on image to unpack packages to>

Here's some examples of using the -Unpack parameter:

  • To unpack a package into a directory:

    msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp"

  • To unpack a package into a VHDX disk image:

    msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp\myapp.vhdx" -applyACLs -create -filetype VHDX -rootDirectory apps

  • To unpack a package into a CIM disk image:

    msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp\myapp.cim" -applyACLs -create -filetype CIM -rootDirectory apps

Here are the optional parameters you can use with the -Unpack parameter:

Optional parameter Description Example
-applyACLs Applies ACLs to the resulting package folder(s) and their parent folder. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp" -applyACLs
-create Creates a new image with the specified file type and unpacks the packages to that image. Requires the -filetype parameter. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp" -applyACLs -create -fileType VHDX
-fileType The type of file to unpack packages to. Valid file types include VHD, VHDX, CIM. This parameter is required when unpacking to CIM files. Requires the -create parameter. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp" -applyACLs -create -fileType CIM -rootDirectory apps
-rootDirectory Specifies the root directory on image to unpack packages to. This parameter is required when unpacking to new and existing CIM files. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp" -applyACLs -create -filetype CIM -rootDirectory apps
-validateSignature Validates a package's signature file before unpacking package. This parameter requires that the package's certificate is installed on the machine.

-vhdSize The desired size of the .vhd or .vhdx file in MB. Must be between 5 MB and 2040000 MB. Use only for .vhd or .vhdx files. Requires the -create and -filetype parameters. msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath "C:\MSIX\myapp.msix" -destination "C:\Apps\myapp" -create -fileType VHDX -vhdSize 500
