Month: September 2018

These are some of my notes for working with AppX files.

You will need to install the SDK to use MakeAppx.exe, and make sure Developer Mode is enabled.

 

Developer Mode

reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock” /v “AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense” /t REG_DWORD /d “1” /f /reg:64

reg.exe add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock” /v AllowAllTrustedApps /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f /reg:64

reg.exe add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx” /v AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f /reg:64

reg.exe add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx” /v AllowAllTrustedApps /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f /reg:64

 

Example SDK folder (location of tools)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64

 

Unbundle

MakeAppx.exe unbundle /p C:\example\AppleInc.iTunes_12090.167.37085.0_neutral_~_nzyj5cx40ttqa.AppxBundle /d C:\example\unbundle

 

Unpack

MakeAppx.exe unpack /p C:\example\unbundle\AppleInc.iTunes_12090.167.37085.0_x64.appx /d C:\example\unpack

 

Pack

MakeAppx pack /d C:\example\pack /p C:\example\sample1.appx

 

If you receive errors

Get-Appxlog | Out-GridView

 

Notes

Examples

MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d “C:\My Files” /p MyPackage.appx
MakeAppx pack /v /o /f MyMapping.txt /p MyPackage.appx
MakeAppx pack /m “MyApp\AppxManifest.xml” /f MyMapping.txt /p AppPackage.appx
MakeAppx pack /r /m “MyApp\AppxManifest.xml” /f MyMapping.txt /p ResourcePackage.appx
MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d “C:\My Files” /ep MyPackage.eappx /kf MyKeyFile.txt
MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d “C:\My Files” /ep MyPackage.eappx /kt
MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d “C:\My Files” /ep MyPackage.eappx /kt /np
MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d “C:\My Files” /p MyPackage.appx /ml 1073741824

 

Manually install unpacked AppX file

Add-AppxPackage -Path C:\example\AppxManifest.xml -Register

Signing your packages

makecert.exe -r -h 0 -n “CN=Publisher” -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -pe -sv C:\example\PackageCert.pvk C:\example\PackageCert.cer

pvk2pfx.exe -pvk C:\example\PackageCert.pvk -spc C:\example\PackageCert.cer -pfx C:\example\PackageCert.pfx

SignTool.exe sign /a /v /fd SHA256 /f C:\example\PackageCert.pfx C:\example\MyApp.appx

 

Manually add AppX file

Add-AppxPackage C:\Path\to\application.appx

 

All About AppX

What is an AppX?

The AppX is the file format used to distribute and install apps on the Universal Windows Platform. The AppX is an .ZIP-based container file.

What does an AppX package contain?

Each Windows Runtime app package contains the app’s payload files plus info needed to validate, deploy, manage, and update the app.

In an AppX package you will find:

• App payload which is the Application files
• XML configuration files which are:
  • App manifest which is the app manifest file (AppxManifest.xml)
  • App block map which is the app package’s block map file (AppxBlockMap.xml)
• App signature

What is the installation type of a UWP app?

The UWP app is installed per-user. Users don’t have any knowledge of what was installed for any other user.

Where the UWP apps get installed?

In UWP apps we have app isolation mechanism, which means they only impact the account of the user who installed them. The app binaries are stored on the drive (%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps). Only the Operating System can write in that location. The application cannot write in that location; the application is running in a sandbox.

What is a UWP package?

The UWP packages are Win32 apps converted to AppX. Are also called full trusted apps.

How to install an AppX package from other sources that you trust, outside of the Windows Store?

A requirement is to have “Sideload apps” option enabled on your target machine from “Settings” -> “Update and security” -> “For developers”.

There are two ways to sideload apps after Windows 10 Anniversary Update:

• Full trust apps: double-click the AppX file from Windows Explorer and follow the graphical installer
• Untrusted apps:
  • import the security certificate used to sign the AppX into the system store
  • run PowerShell cmdlet as admin
  • run following command pointing to the AppX file on the target system:

Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Path\Your.AppX"

Why do I receive the “External tool not found: MakePri.exe” error during the UwpAppX build?

For creating UwpAppX packages with Advanced Installer, the build machine must have the latest Windows SDK installed.

Why do I receive the “Error: SignerSign() failed. (-2147024885/0x8007000b)” error during the UwpAppX build?

This error may occur if the ID field from the Package Information view does not match with the publisher subject information of the certificate used to sign the package.

I have just converted a classic desktop application to an AppX package, why do I receive the “Failed due to unknown reasons” when I try to install it?

This error may occur if you have not included in your Advanced Installer Project all the images in Visual Assets and Package Information for all the required resolutions and tile sizes.

Matteo Pagani’s blog post offers a solution for the same issue if you used Microsoft’s Desktop App Converter for the conversion.

Can I configure the default app launched at the end of the deployment of an AppX bundle?

When you install a multi-app package from the Windows Store, there is no [ Launch ] button. Instead, you are directed to the app list to choose what app you want to start, meaning you cannot have a default app for an AppX bundle.

How do I access the AppX installation log?

First, you have to launch the Event Viewer by going to Start > Event Viewer (Local).

Once in the Event Viewer go to Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > AppxPackagingOM > Microsoft-Windows-AppxPackaging/Operational.

Why do I get the “Invalid package identity name” error?

The package identity name must be composed of the publisher/company name and the app name (i.e., YourCompanyName.YourAppName).

Microsoft automatically detects your company name from your Windows Developer account.

Why do I get the “Invalid package family name” error?

The package family name is generated by the OS (not Advanced Installer) starting from the package identity name. The OS appends a hash at the end of the name, which is generated from the package and publisher identify information.

You cannot directly set this name. As long as you set the package identity name (as Microsoft requires) and the CN, the package family name will be set correctly.

Why do I get the “Invalid package publisher name” error?

When you publish an app in the store you no longer need to sign it with your certificate; the Microsoft Store will do it instead. Digital signing is only required when you test the app on your local machine or if you plan to distribute it outside the Microsoft Store.

When you publish the app in the store, you need to disable digital signing in Advanced Installer and set the publisher ID in the project to the value from your Microsoft Developer account, i.e., CN=82A13EFD-FE37-4EFC-8BA4-1C3E9EFE5F23

Why do I get the “This package’s manifest uses a display name that you have not reserved” error?

You must log in to your Windows Developer account (sign up if you don’t have one) and reserve your application name. For more details about registering a Windows Developer account see Microsoft’s documentation.

Notes

I’ve notice on some PPKGs, the command may need to be executed twice for package removal.

Windows gives a user the ability to uninstall and roll back to a previous version of Windows. You can use DISM to:

• Find out how many days after an upgrade that an OS can be uninstalled
• Initiate an uninstall
• Remove the ability for a user to uninstall a Windows upgrade
• Set the number of days that a user has to uninstall a Windows upgrade

 

/Get-OSUninstallWindow

Run this command against an online image to see how many days after an upgrade that an uninstall can be initiated.

DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow

 

/Initiate-OSUninstall

Run this command against an online image to revert a PC to a previous Windows installation.

DISM /Online /Initiate-OSUninstall

 

/Remove-OSUninstall

Run this command against an online image to remove the ability to roll back a PC to a previous installation of Windows.

DISM /Online /Remove-OSUninstall

 

/Set-OSUninstallWindow

Run this command against an online image to set the number of days after an upgrade that an uninstall can be initiated.

DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:30

 

Registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Value: SmartScreenEnabled
Type: REG_SZ
Data: Off

 

Command

reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer” /v SmartScreenEnabled /t REG_SZ /d Off

If you use this option and specify an Installation directory, you must install RIInstaller.msi file in the \Receiver directory and the other .msi files in the installation directory.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe INSTALLDIR=c:\Citrix\Test

Identify a user device

Option	CLIENT_NAME=ClientName
Description	Specifies the client name, where ClientName is the name used to identify the user device to the server. The default value is %COMPUTERNAME%
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe CLIENT_NAME=%COMPUTERNAME%.

Dynamic client name

Option	ENABLE_CLIENT_NAME=Yes, No
Description	The dynamic client name feature allows the client name to be the same as the computer name. When users change their computer name, the client name changes to match. Defaults to Yes. To disable dynamic client name support, set this property to No and specify a value for the CLIENT_NAME property.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME =Yes

Install specified components

Option	ADDLOCAL=<feature… ,>
Description	Installs set of local features specified in ADDLOCAL.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ADDLOCAL=ReceiverInside,ICA_Client,AM,SELFSERVICE,DesktopViewer,Flash,Vd3d,usb,WebHelper

Configure Citrix Receiver for Windows to manually add Stores

Option	ENABLE_CLIENT_NAME=Yes, No
Description	The dynamic client name feature allows the client name to be the same as the computer name. When users change their computer name, the client name changes to match. Defaults to Yes. To disable dynamic client name support, set this property to No and specify a value for the CLIENT_NAME property.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME =Yes

Save credentials for stores locally using PNAgent protocol

Option	ALLOWSAVEPWD={N, S, A}
Description	The default is the value specified by the PNAgent server at runtime. Specifies whether users can save the credentials for stores locally on their computers and apply only to stores using the PNAgent protocol. Defaults to S. Options include: N – Never allow users to save their passwords. S – Allow users to save passwords for both secure stores (HTTPS) and non-secure stores (HTTPS) and non-secure stores (HTTP). You can also control this feature by updating the registry key HKLM\Software[Wow6432Node]\Citrix\Dazzle\AllowSavePwd. Note: The following registry key must be added manually if AllowSavePwd does not work: 1 Key for 32 bit OS client: HKLM\Software\Citrix\AuthManager 2 Key for 64 bit OS client: HKLM\Software\wow6432node\Citrix\AuthManager 3 Type: REG_SZ 4 Value: never – never allow users to save their passwords. secureonly – allow users to save passwords for secure stores only (configured with HTTPS). always – allow users to save passwords for both secure stores (HTTPS) and non-secure stores (HTTP).
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ALLOWADDSTORE=N

Select certificate

Option	AM_CERTIFICATESELECTIONMODE={Prompt, SmartCardDefault, LatestExpriry }
Description	Use this option to select a certificate. The default value is Prompt, which prompts the user to choose a certificate from a list. Change this property to choose the default certificate (per the smart card provider) or the certificate with the latest expiry date. If there are no valid logon certificates, the user is notified, and given the option to use an alternate logon method if available.You can also control this feature by updating the registry key HKCU or HKLM\Software[Wow6432Node]Citrix\AuthManager:CertificateSelectionMode={ Prompt	SmartCardDefault	LatestExpiry }. Values defined in HKCU take precedence over values in HKLM to best assist the user in selecting a certificate.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe AM_CERTIFICATESELECTIONMODE=Prompt

Use CSP components to manage Smart Card PIN entry

Option	AM_SMARTCARDPINENTRY=CSP
Description	Use CSP components to manage Smart Card PIN entry. By default, the PIN prompts presented to users are provided by Citrix Receiver rather than the smart card Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP). Receiver prompts users to type a PIN when required and then passes the PIN to the smart card CSP. Specify this property to use the CSP components to manage the PIN entry, including the prompt for a PIN.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe AM_SMARTCARDPINENTRY=CSP

Using Kerberos

Option	ENABLE_KERBEROS={Yes , No}
Description	The default value is No. Specifies whether the HDX engine should use Kerberos authentication and applies only when single sign-on (pass-through) authentication is enabled. For more information, see Configure domain pass-through authentication with Kerberos.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ENABLE_KERBEROS=No

Displaying legacy FTA icons

Option	LEGACYFTAICONS={False, True}
Description	Use this option to display Legacy FTA icons. The default value is False. Specifies whether or not application icons are displayed for documents that have file type associations with subscribed applications. When the argument is set to false, Windows generates icons for documents that do not have a specific icon assigned to them. The icons generated by Windows consist of a generic document icon overlaid with a smaller version of the application icon. Citrix recommends enabling this option if you plan to deliver Microsoft Office applications to users running Windows 7.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe LEGACYFTAICONS=False

Enabling pre-launch

Option	ENABLEPRELAUNCH={False, True}
Description	The default value is False. For information about session pre-launch, see Reduce application launch time.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ENABLEPRELAUNCH=False

Specifying the directory for Start Menu shortcuts

Option	STARTMENUDIR={Directory Name}
Description	By default, applications appear under Start > All Programs. You can specify the relative path of the shortcuts in the programs folder. For example, to place shortcuts under Start > All Programs > Receiver, specify STARTMENUDIR=\Receiver. You can change or move the folder at any time.You can also control this feature using a registry key: Create the entry REG_SZ for StartMenuDir and give it the value “\RelativePath” Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software[Wow6432Node]Citrix\Dazzle , HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Citrix\Dazzle. For applications published through XenApp with a Client applications folder (also referred to as a Program Neighborhood folder) specified, you can specify that the client applications folder is to be appended to the shortcuts path as follows: Create the entry REG_SZ for UseCategoryAsStartMenuPath and give it the value “true.” Use the same registry locations as noted above.Note: Windows 8/8.1 does not allow you to create nested folders within the Start menu. Applications are displayed individually or inside the root folder and not within defined Category sub folders. Examples: 1 If client application folder is \office, UseCategoryAsStartMenuPath is true, and no StartMenuDiris specified, shortcuts are placed under Start > All Programs > Office. 2 If Client applications folder is \Office, UseCategoryAsStartMenuPath is true, and StartMenuDir is \Receiver, shortcuts are placed under Start > All Programs > Receiver > Office. Changes made to these settings have no impact on shortcuts that are already created. To move shortcuts, you must uninstall and reinstall the applications
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe STARTMENUDIR=\Office

Specifying the Store Name

Option	STOREx=”storename;http[s]://servername.domain/IISLocation/discovery;[On, Off] ; [storedescription] “[STOREy=”–”]
Description	Use this option to specify the Store name. Specifies up to 10 stores to use with Citrix Receiver. Values: x and y – Integers 0 through 9.; storename – Defaults to store. This must match the name configured on the StoreFront Server.; servername.domain – The fully qualified domain name of the server hosting the store. ; IISLocation – the path to the store within IIS. The store URL must match the URL in StoreFront provisioning files. The store URLs are of the form “/Citrix/store/discovery.” To obtain the URL, export a provisioning file from StoreFront, open it in notepad and copy the URL from the Address element.; On, Off – The optional Off configuration setting enables you to deliver disabled stores, giving users the choice of whether or not they access them. When the store status is not specified, the default setting is On. storedescription – An optional description of the store, such as HR App Store.Note: In this release, it is important to include “/discovery” in the store URL for successful pass-through authentication.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe STORE0=”Store;https://test.xx.com/Citrix/Store/Discovery”

Enabling URL Redirection on user devices

Option	ALLOW_CLIENTHOSTEDAPPSURL=1
Description	Enables the URL redirection feature on user devices. Requires administrator rights. Requires that Citrix Receiver is installed for All Users. For information about URL redirection, see Local App Access and its subtopics in the XenDesktop 7 documentation.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe ALLOW_CLIENTHOSTEDAPPSURL=1

Enabling self-service mode

Option	SELFSERVICEMODE={False , True}
Description	The default value is True. When the administrator sets the SelfServiceMode flag to false, the user no longer has access to the self-service Citrix Receiver user interface. Instead, they can access subscribed apps from the Start menu and via desktop shortcuts – known as “shortcut-only mode”.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe SELFSERVICEMODE=False

Specifying the directory for Desktop Shortcuts

Option	DESKTOPDIR=Directory Name
Description	Brings all shortcuts into a single folder. Category Path is supported for desktop shortcuts. Note: When using the DESKTOPDIR option, set the PutShortcutsOnDesktop key to True.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe DESKTOPDIR=\Office

Upgrading from an unsupported Citrix Receiver version

Note

When you upgrade Citrix Receiver Version 13.x Enterprise or 12.x to Citrix Receiver for Windows Version 4.4 and later using the graphical user interface, the installer runs the Receiver cleanup utility by default.

However, the utility does not run by default when you upgrade from the command line. To upgrade from the command line, run the following command:

CitrixReceiver.exe /rcu /silent

When you upgrade Citrix Receiver for Windows from 13.x (non-Enterprise) or 4.1 to Version 4.2 or later, the /rcu switch is unnecessary and ignored.

Option	/rcu
Description	Allows you to upgrade from an unsupported version to the latest version of Citrix Receiver.
Sample usage	CitrixReceiver.exe /rcu

Troubleshooting the installation

If there is a problem with the installation, search in the user’s %TEMP%/CTXReceiverInstallLogs directory for the logs with the prefix CtxInstall- or TrolleyExpress- . For example:

CtxInstall-ICAWebWrapper-20141114-134516.log

TrolleyExpress-20090807-123456.log

Examples of a command line installation

To specify the NetScaler Gateway store URL:

CitrixReceiver.exe STORE0=”<StoreFriendlyName>;testserver <StoreName>;<On/Off>;<StoreDescription>”]

Note: The NetScaler Gateway store URL must be the first entry in the list of configured store URLs.

To install all components silently and specify two application stores:

To specify single sign-on (pass-through authentication) and add a store that points to a XenApp Services URL:

P/Invoke, short for platform invocation services, allow you to access functions, structs, and callbacks in unmanaged DLLs.

Here, I’m able to import user32.dll, and then use a function inside user32.dll. Pretty cool, huh? Simply by naming a static method with the same name as the extern keyword, MessageBox, in our case, you can access functions within the DLL.

Compiled in Visual Studio 2017.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class MessageBoxDLL
{
// call to which dll you would like to import
// our unmanaged dll
[DllImport("user32.dll")]

// our function
static extern int MessageBox(IntPtr hWnd, string text, string caption, int type);
// a static method with the same name as the function, i.e. MessageBox
public static void Main()
{
// calls function with relative parameters
// the marshaler does the translation for us
MessageBox(IntPtr.Zero,"This is a test!", "Yo", 0);
}
}

}

static void touchFile(FileSystemInfo filename)
{
Console.WriteLine("File name: {0}", filename.FullName);
try

filename.CreationTime = filename.LastWriteTime;
Console.Write("\nTimestamp: ");
Console.Write(filename.CreationTime);

}
catch (Exception x)
