Recently, Microsoft released the Desktop App Converter (aka Project Centennial) for Windows 10. With the Desktop App Converter, developers are able to convert their Win32 apps to a Universal Windows App, allowing them to distribute it via the Windows Store. The converted apps are pretty much like the original Win32 apps, and you won't see much difference between the converted and the Win32 app, which is what developers want.
Use the desktop clients to keep your files synchronized between your Nextcloud server and your desktop. Select one or more directories on your local machine and always have access to your latest files wherever you are. Learn more about our clients here. Windows 7, 8.x and 10 macOS 10.12+, 64 bit Linux AppImage Mac OS 10.10+ (legacy). Unlike desktop programs, Android apps automatically get installed after they are downloaded so there's really no need of going to the Downloads folder, looking for the setup or.exe file and executing it in order to initiate the install process because the app that has just been downloaded automatically gets installed as you can see on the.
Microsoft has been internally testing a new app which will allow developers to distribute their Centennial apps very easily: the Desktop App Installer.
Now that app has showed up in the windows store, seemingly available to Windows 10 users on Redstone.

The Desktop App Installer lets developersinstall .appx or .appxbundle files on their Windows 10 PC, without having to use Powershell or writing any commands into the CMD. Similar to Windows 10 Mobile, users will be able to double click on a .appx or .appxbundle file from the File Explorer and install it using the Desktop App Installer on their PC.
As far as we know developers can't yet submit their Centennial apps to the Windows Store as Microsoft is going to add support for Centennial apps with the Anniversary Update for Windows 10, which is expected to get released later this summer. Uad 2 plugins bundle torrent. Until then, developers can let users download their converted .appx files which users can install their on Windows 10 PC using the Desktop App Installer.
The app can be found in the Windows Store here.
Below is a list of popular third-party products and installers that support the ability to package a desktop application. You can use them to generate MSI installers or app packages with only a few clicks. While we don't produce documentation on how to use these tools, visit their websites to learn more.
Advanced Installer
Caphyon provides a free, GUI-based, desktop app packaging tool that helps you to generate a Windows app package for your application with only a few clicks. It can use any installer; even ones that run in silent mode, and performs a validation check to determine whether the application is suitable for packaging. The Desktop App Converter also integrates with Hyper-V and VMware. This means that you can use your own virtual machines, without having to download a matching Docker image that can be over 3GB in size.
You can use Advanced Installer to generate MSI and Windows app packages from existing projects. You can also use Advanced installer to import Windows app packages that you generate by using the Microsoft Desktop App Converter. Once imported, you can maintain them by using visual tools that are specifically designed for UWP apps.
Advanced Installer also provides an extension for Visual Studio 2017 and 2015 that can use to build and debug Desktop Bridge apps.
See this video for a quick overview.
Tip
Be sure to checkout the recently released Advanced Installer Express Edition.
Cloudhouse Compatibility Containers
For Enterprise customers who have line of business applications that are incompatible with Windows 10 and 10 S, Cloudhouse's Compatibility Containers enable Windows XP and 7 apps to run on Windows 10 and then converts them to run on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) for delivery through Microsoft Store for Business, or Microsoft InTune without changing the source code. Register for a Free Trial.
Cloudhouse provides an Auto Packager for packaging line of business applications into Compatibility Containers on the operating systems that the apps runs on today (For example: Windows XP), and then prepare it for conversion to UWP. The Container is then converted to the new Windows app package format by integrating it with Microsoft's Desktop App Converter tool.
The Auto Packager uses install / capture and runtime analysis to create a Container for the application which includes the application's files, registry, runtimes, dependencies, and the compatibility and redirection engine required to enable the application to run on Windows 10. Mac os x 10.6 snow leopard upgrade free download. The Container provides isolation for the application and its runtimes, so that that they do not affect or conflict with other applications running on the user's device.
Find out more about how you can deliver business applications through the Microsoft Store for Business Read in our Release blog.
FireGiant
The FireGiant MSIX extension lets you create Windows app packages and MSI packages simultaneously from the same WiX source code. Every time you build, you can target Windows 10 with a Windows app package and earlier versions of Windows with MSI.
The FireGiant MSIX extension uses static analysis and intelligent emulation of your WiX projects to create Windows app packages without the disk space and runtime overhead of containers or virtual machines.
Because the FireGiant MSIX extension doesn't convert your installer by running it, you can maintain your WiX installer without having to repeatedly convert it to Windows app packages. All your users on different versions of Windows get your latest improvements and you don't have to worry about MSI and Windows app packages getting out of sync.
Check out this video and see how in a couple lines of code FireGiant CEO Rob Mensching creates an Appx (Windows app package) version of the popular open-source 7-Zip compression tool and then how he improves both Windows application and MSI packages with changes in the same WiX source code.
InstallAware
InstallAware, with a track record of quickly supporting Microsoft's innovations, builds Windows app packages (Desktop Bridge), App-V (Application Virtualization), MSI (Windows Installer), and EXE (Native Code) packages from a single source.
InstallAware provides free InstallAware extensions for Visual Studio versions 2012-2017. Blue stock app. You can use them to create Windows app packages with a single click directly from the Visual Studio toolbar.
You can also import any setup, even if you don't have the source code for that setup, by using PackageAware (snapshot-free setup captures), or the Database Import Wizard (for all MSI installers and MSM merge modules). You can use GUI tools to maintain and enhance your imports, visually or by scripting.
Advanced APPX creation options help you target Microsoft Store submissions, or produce signed Windows app package binaries for sideload distribution to end-users. You can even build WSA (Windows Server Applications) Installer packages that target deployments to Nano Server all from a single source, and with full support for command line automation, in addition to a GUI.
InstallAware also open sourced an APPX builder library, together with an example command line applet, under the GNU Affero GPL license. These are designed for use with open source platforms such as WiX.

InstallShield provides a single solution to develop MSI and EXE installers, create Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Windows Server App (WSA) packages, and virtualize applications with minimal scripting, coding and rework.
Scan your InstallShield project in seconds to save hours of investigative work by automatically identifying potential compatibility issues between your application and UWP and WSA packages.
Prepare for the Microsoft Store and simplify your software's installation experience on Windows 10 by building UWP app packages from your existing InstallShield projects. Build both Windows Installer and UWP App Packages to support all of your customers' desired deployment scenarios. Support Nano Server and Windows Server 2016 deployments by building WSA packages from your existing InstallShield projects.
Develop your installation in modules for easier deployment and maintenance, and then merge the components and dependencies at build time into a single UWP app package for the Microsoft Store. For direct distribution outside the Store, bundle your UWP App Packages and other dependencies together with a Suite/Advanced UI installer.
