As per SCCM 2012 build 1806 it is possible to deploy MSIX packages. In this article, I will describe all the steps that are needed to deploy a MSIX package on a Windows 10 v1809 client.

In the article Package and install a MSIX package Paint.Net 4.1.5 was packaged as a MSIX package. In Create a MSIX modification package a modification package was created to add some addins. In this article both applications will be used.

Before you can install a MSIX package on a client, you have to:

  1. Deploy the certificate
  2. Enable sideloading apps

This can be done via policies:

Certficate in Trusted Root

Sideload apps

Before the Paint.Net Addin package can be deployed, it is mandatory to have the dependency application deployed first.
