MSIX Deployment Recommendations

Microsoft’s help document What is MSIX?, defines a Microsoft Installer (MSIX) as a Windows app package format that provides a modern packaging experience to all Windows apps. MSIX helps ensure that your organization stays current and provides reassurance that your applications are always up to date. MSIX installers are used to package and deliver each version of Designer XI, DHFC XI, and Mobile XI to your users.

Verify an MSIX Package

MSIX packages include all the files needed to install the app, plus a digital signature to ensure integrity and authenticity. One quick way to verify an MSIX signature is:

1. Locate and right-click on the .msix package.

2. Click Properties then select the Digital Signatures tab. If the package is signed, you should see a list of digital signatures.

3. Select a signature from the list and click Details, which includes information about the certificate, signer, and timestamp.

   NOTE: If the package is not signed by Schneider Electric, you should not attempt to install.
