In the last couple days, I see the Manager update file being offered is a .msix file rather than a .msi file. Anyone else having problems trying to launch the .msix files? Any wise helpful words?

Do you have problems opening the file? This URL explains how to handle .msix file: https://www.live2tech.com/how-to-open-msix-file-in-windows-10-a-step-by-step-guide/

Yes, I have trouble opening the file. When I attempt to open it, an empty white dialog box appears for a few seconds and then disappears. Then a another dialog box opens that says “The app didn’t start.”

As mentioned in the link I send you: What do I do if the App Installer doesn’t open? Try right-clicking the file and selecting “Open with App Installer.” If that doesn’t work, ensure your Windows is up to date.

@elreng33 Your Windows version is fine. I assume the program did install (you saw MSIX installation dialog) but can’t launch the program. Correct? Can you try the latest version (24.8.9) ? I made some adjustments.

The essential issue is to continue to be able to download a file, d-click that file, and update Manager (which I love, thank you) to the latest version. That used to work fine with the .msi files offered. And now, not so much with the .msix files. I stopped updating when msi offered changed to msix…

What anti virus program do you run?

@elreng33 so when you open MSIX file, nothing happens at all? Can you try other MSIX file from another vendor? For example, try Canva MSIX installer from here: https://www.canva.com/en_au/help/msix-installer/

Just what comes with Windows 11 Pro.

@elreng33 what is your Windows version. MSIX is supported in Windows 10 (version 1709) or newer.

No response when opening
