4.7 Interactive install with App Installer files
As the Intercede MSIX packages do not need administrator permissions, you can direct users to perform the install themselves. You can do this in the following ways:
-
Give the user the App Installer file itself.
If the user's machine can reach all of the locations specified inside the App Installer file, you can give them a copy of the file and they can double-click to run.
-
Place the App Installer file in a shared location.
The same as above, but rather than giving the user the file you direct them to its location.
-
Publish the App Installer file on a website (internal or otherwise) using the ms-appinstaller protocol, and provide the link to users. For more information, see:
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/installing-windows10-apps-web
Note: The ms-appinstaller protocol is disabled by default for security reasons. You must review and consider the implications of enabling it, including applying appropriate security policies.
Note: As with the headless install, you cannot use the App Installer file to perform an uninstall. Either the user must uninstall the app themselves, or you can use the Remove-AppxPackage cmdlet; for example:
Remove-AppxPackage $(Get-AppxPackage MyIDClientSuite).PackageFullName
