We have 500 MSI packages that we are moving to Windows 10. We intend to run Windows 10 compatibility and MSIX suitability tests on all these packages. We want to automate this process, so any packages that are considered suitable for MSIX packaging are automatically converted to MSIX. Our packaging environment will be located in Azure DevTest Labs and manual packaging will be done on Azure VMs. As the Automated Application converter does not work with Azure VMs, we are planning to provision a server in Azure DevTest Labs that supports Nested Hyper-V. Once Nested Hyper-V has been configured we will build VMs within the Hyper-V environment. These will consist of a Windows 10 VM with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition installed, and 2 (or potentially more) clean Windows 10 VMs to support the MSIX conversion process. With the limited testing that I have done so far with MSIX suitability testing, the 2 MSIs I have tested have come back with a Yellow, Maybe, Status. What I want to be able to do is run the MSIX conversion anyway, even though the package doesn’t get a Green status. That way we can test the resultant MSIX file for functionality. Would I need to use Powershell to do this or can this be configured from within the Automatic Application Converter GUI?

So using Hyper-V with Azure and using multiple VM's hosted in Hyper-V we need to know which protocols or ports are used as we will need to open the firewall on the devices so that they can talk to each other.

Currently we have Azure as our cloud solution and as per previous comments from Flexera have been told we can create our Hyper-V server via Azure. Once we have Hyper-V we will installed AdminStudio on one VM then use other VMs to be used for creating packages and snapshots.

For automated testing and packaging, please provide comms details between the Admin Studio workstation VM and the other VMs on the Hyper-V server. Which protocols and ports are used. How does Admin Studio spin up VMs, install software, re-initialise workstations etc?

If an MSI application returns a “Maybe suitable for MSIX” (yellow) status from automated testing, is it still possible to automatically convert this application to MSIX so that its functionality can be tested? As Custom Actions and Conditions cause a “Maybe suitable for MSIX” status I am expecting that a lot our applications will return this status and I would like to be able to automatically produce the MSIX.

Thanks, would it be supported if I use Hyper-V through Azure ?

We are setting up AdminStudio Enterprise. We have a large number of existing MSI packages, and we want to automatically convert these to MSIX format, where possible. I am assuming that we need to configure a VM in order to automate this, however all our VMs are located in Azure and AdminStudio only seems to list Hyper-V, not Azure. My questions are:- Is a VM required to do these conversions? Is it possible to use Azure VMs to automatically convert packages to MSIX format? If so, how is this done? Thanks
