The good news is you will able to convert a batch of MSI to MSIX format both the ways - using AdminStudio PowerShell Cmdlets and AAC. If you want to get up and running pretty quick, without having to worry about writing a script, then you may use AAC. Add all your MSI packages and your VM to AAC project file and then leave it to AAC to take each of these MSI packages to the VM, repackage it, if needed and then convert to MSIX one after the other, all hands free. Please make sure you provide  correct silent command line switches for each of the package in AAC, so the installation during repackaging does not fail. As all the packages that you want to convert to MSIX are MSI packages, AAC will automatically add the standard silent installation switch for MSI packages - '/qb!' unless you want to add any additional switches to it. Here is our help article which should get you started with AAC: https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/adminstudio2019r2sp1/adminstudio.htm#helplibrary/Vam_GettingStarted.htm#vam_3609474060_1041185%3FTocPath%3DPerforming%2520Virtualization%2520and%2520Repackaging%2520Using%2520the%2520Automated%2520Application%2520Converter%7CGetting%2520Started%2520With%2520the%2520Automated%2520Application%2520Converter%7C_____0 ...
