UWP Bootstrapper Tab

Use this tab to automatically launch your application’s AppX package or MSI setup package depending on the target machine OS. This way when your users run the EXE bundle on Windows 10 Anniversary Update / Windows Server 2016 / Windows Nano Server 2016 or above, the AppX will be installed, otherwise the MSI will be installed.

Bundle with EXE/MSI

Enable this option to bundle the AppX with one of your EXE or MSI builds from the same project.

There has to be at least an EXE/MSI build added to the builds list before enabling this option.

To be bundled with an MSI, the MSIX package should be configured as a Sparse Package

Build

Select the EXE build from the project to bundle the AppX with. You can configure the selected EXE from its Configuration Settings Tab .
