The Windows Store uses the MSIX package format for distributing Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. MSIX, introduced in 2018, enhances packaging and deployment for Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms apps.
All Windows programs may now have a contemporary packaging experience thanks to the MSIX Windows app package format.
The MSIX package format allows for new, contemporary packaging and deployment capabilities for Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms programs while maintaining the functionality of older app packages and/or install files.
Businesses can keep up to date and make sure their apps are constantly up to date using MSIX.
Because there is less need for repackaging, IT professionals and developers may provide a user-centric solution while also lowering the application's cost of ownership.
