Who’s got a good guide on creating MSIX for packaging a portable executable? #windowsdev

Demitrius Nelon Jan De Dobbeleer (inactive) Me on stage: WinGet install oh-my-posh should just say it’s already installed, we’ve worked with Jan a ton and he’s awesome *WinGet starts pulling an update* Me: Apparently Jan shipped an update within the last half hour 😂

Does your employer sponsor open source projects? github.com/sponsors/ohmyz…

I’ve been exploring Wix to create an MSI for oh-my-posh and while the basics seem to work, aligning it with the current Inno installer is rather challenging. It really requires an understanding of MSI, which is an entire subject on its own.

Oh my! I nailed the MSI when it comes to mimicking the Inno installer for oh-my-posh. All it needs is code signing and we’re good to go 🚀

I’m still convinced we need a #GitHub t-shirt that says "Fork around and find out".

Who’s better to ask for ideas than @MSFTCopilot? So much potential!

Yes. I’m definitely this old. And that old. Yup, that too.

Crazy. I made an MSI for Oh My Posh. Seems to work just like the Inno installer, but it’s a lot cleaner to maintain. Thanks to the community for helping me get it right, it was a bit of a struggle 😅

Apparently the MS Store doesn’t accept submissions with package URL’s that redirect. But only from the UI, I can successfully submit those using the API 🫣🤦🏻‍♂️

"When I’m done merging PR’s for Oh My Posh, it’s time to give aliae some more love 🌱" Yeah. About that…

Moving Oh My Posh to the MSI suddenly surfaces scoop’s poor support for installers. Somehow they want to unpack the content and manage executables themselves which is a terrible idea IMHO. Therefore, scoop support is officially dropped. I don’t want to maintain two installers.

As the Windows Store requires a non-redirecting, versioned link to the installers, I will move those to Azure behind cdn.ohmyposh.dev. I’ll update all installers to use those links, the question I have is: do I move all artifacts from GitHub to that location?

Skating in your 40’s is starting the session thinking you’re 20 and ending it feeling 70.

What a whirlwind year! 🌪️ This summer, I raised funds for a Surface Laptop to enhance Windows support. In November, Oh My Posh won the Microsoft Store Award in Developer Tools, earning a souped-up Surface Pro! Thanks to everyone who nominated us! 😍
