MSI - standalone/offline installer

Closed this issue · 0 comments

I think this warrants an issue for SEO. I attempted to use the MSI to publish my app to the Microsoft store and this violation was thrown.

After looking through some of the other issues it seems vebview2, by default, has to be downloaded as part of the install. For the Microsoft store I guess they don't want any network downloads as it circumvents their reviewal process.

The violation:

10.2.9.3 Security - Package Submissions	
Win32 products must be submitted as a standalone/offline installer. Installers must not be a downloader that downloads the bits it needs to run. Please resubmit with an appropriate installer.

Tested devices: Microsoft Surface Laptop

Took a look at the docs and seems I can set a flag to bundle the webview2 installer by setting some config props.

Will be updating my app to bundle webview2, thanks!
