What’s a Universal Window app ?..

a replacement for Windows-installer ?

a replacement for App-V ?

a new Framework ?

An App from Windows Store ?


UWA as replacement for MSI’s ?

Universal Apps have an own Installer (App Package)

An app package is a container based on the Open Packing Conventions (OPC) standard. OPC defines a structured way to store data and resources for the app by using a standard ZIP file. Extension: .appxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Packaging_Conventions

Other OPC Packages:

.docx

.pptx

.xlsx

.appv

.dwfx

MSI vs. App Package

Signed

Not customizable

One click installation

Knows pre-requisites (e.g. OSMinVersion) and dependencies (e.g. C++ Runtime Libraries)

Installs Files into a single container -> App isolation (User Settings and App is separated)

Max. 100GB with 100’000 files


MSI vs. App Package

Capabilities to control what the App is allowed to do

E.g. USB Access, User Documents, Internet and public network

App Bundles to have different Resources (e.g. languages) and Types (e.g. ARM , X64 etc.) in one File

Single Instance Store for Files (hard-links) to reduce Size and bandwidth

Delta update of files on block level.

Multi version existence (UserA can upgrade to V2 while UserB is still using V1)

Uninstall: 1. remove User content -> if no user is using the app move to WindowsApps\Deleted -> Cleanup Schedule

Project Centennial https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2015/2-692

Is using a “Sequencer” to Convert MSI’s to AppX

Windows 10 only

Focus on Developers as they may have to “tweak” the code

A Universal App …

Is not just another Installer, it’s a new Application Format

Universal Windows apps use the Windows Runtime, a native API built into the operating system.

This API is implemented in C++ and supported in C#, Visual Basic, C++, and JavaScript in a way that feels natural for each language.

Is Running in a Silo/Container, but can call another app or run in the background


What’s a Universal Window app ..

You target device families, not an OS.

There's one store for all devices.

Are built upon the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

UWP is a common API across device families.

Adaptive Controls and input (XAML)
