MSIX Bundle Utility Errors

[#1]

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility helps to create the MSIX Bundle package, it lets you specify the payload MSIX packages and the signing information through the graphical interface and creates the MSIX bundle package from the configured MSIX packages.

During the build, it validates MSIX packages for their consistency across the Package identity such as name, publisher, and version. If any mismatch found during the MSIX bundle build, then the build ends with the appropriate error information.

Apart from the Package identity, it validates the package architecture like there is only one MSIX package belongs to one specific architecture and checks if there any MSIX package with architecture “Neutral” configured with other architecture packages. In case of “Neutral” package, it is not allowed to bundle with other architecture packages. If any violations found, then the MSIX bundle build ends with the appropriate error information.

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility Errors and Resolutions

“Failed to create MSIX Bundle. All Packages to build a MSIX bundle should have the same Package name”

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility does not bundle the MSIX packages when the Package name is inconsistent.

For example, the MSIX package identity ‘Name’ should be same across all the payload MSIX packages to bundle the MSIX packages by the MSIX Bundle Utility. In case if the ‘Name’ is inconsistent across the payload, it must be fixed. To fix this error, reconfigure the payload MSIX packages or modify the MSIX packages to have the same Identity Name.

“Failed to create MSIX Bundle. MSIX Package publisher name should be the same to create an MSIX bundle.”

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility does not bundle the MSIX packages when the Package publisher name is inconsistent.

For example, the MSIX package identity ‘Publisher’ should be same across all the payload MSIX packages to bundle the MSIX packages by the MSIX Bundle Utility. In case if the ‘Publisher’ is inconsistent across the payload, it must be fixed. To fix this error, reconfigure the payload MSIX packages or modify the MSIX packages to have the same Identity Publisher.

Failed to create MSIX Bundle. MSIX Package versions should be the same to create an MSIX bundle.

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility does not bundle the MSIX packages when the Package version is inconsistent.

For example, the MSIX package identity ‘Version’ should be same across all the payload MSIX packages to bundle the MSIX packages by the MSIX Bundle Utility. In case if the ‘Version’ is inconsistent across the payload, it must be fixed. To fix this error, reconfigure the payload MSIX packages or modify the MSIX packages to have the same Identity Version.

Failed to create MSIX Bundle. The packages selected are targeting the same architecture.

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility throws this error only if multiple payload MSIX packages targets one specific architecture. MSIX bundle is not supported to add multiple packages targets same architecture inside the bundle. To fix this error, add only one specific architecture package in the payload MSIX packages.

Failed to create MSIX Bundle. Package [Package Name] has architecture set as [Architecture] which is not supported for building MSIX Bundle with ‘Neutral’ architecture Package.

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility throws this error only if the payload MSIX packages contain packages targeting “Neutral” architecture and other architecture specific packages. MSIX bundle is not supported to add “Neutral” architecture package with other architecture specific packages inside the bundle. To fix this error, add only “Neutral” architecture package or other architecture specific packages in the payload. Mix of “Neutral” and other architecture specific packages are not supported.

Failed to create MSIX Bundle. The minimum version of target device for building MSIX Bundle is '10.0.17763.0'.

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility throws this error if anyone of the payload MSIX package target device family min version is less than '10.0.17763.0'. MSIX bundle is not supported to add packages with target device family min version less than '10.0.17763.0'. To fix this error, ensure all the pay load packages target device family min version is configured to '10.0.17763.0' and above.

Failed to Sign MSIX Bundle with Error code 

InstallShield MSIX Bundle Utility throws this error if the MSIX bundle package failed to sign after the successful build. Signing errors come due to the invalid signing information, such as invalid password or invalid certificate info. So, reconfiguring the signing information with valid info resolve the signing error.  Error code also point the root cause of the signing error, which is Microsoft standard signing error code.
