I am getting an error while creating the vhdx file for the software like textpad or Visual studio 2013. Error: Failed to load applyacls.dll. Please confirm the dll is next to this exe. ApplyACLs should only be used for setting up a Windows Virtual Desktop. Finished unpacking packages to: F:\TPad2021 (This is for Textpad) [WARNING] The following packages from Textpad_8.8.1.0_x64__22qe32n2bs3cw.msix failed to get unpacked. Please try again: Failed with HRESULT 0x8007007e when trying to unpack Textpad_8.8.1.0_x64__22qe32n2bs3cw.msix

 

Similar error for VS2013 as well.

 

I have ensured the msixmgr.exe and ApplyACLs.dll files are on same path. C:\MSIXAppattach\

Commands below:

New-VHD -SizeBytes 4096MB -Path C:\MSIXAppAttach\Textpad2021.vhdx -Dynamic -Confirm:$false $vhdObject = Mount-VHD c:\MSIXappattach\Textpad2021.vhdx -Passthru

$disk = Initialize-Disk -Passthru -Number $vhdObject.Number

$partition = New-Partition -AssignDriveLetter -UseMaximumSize -DiskNumber $disk.Number

Format-Volume -FileSystem NTFS -Confirm:$false -DriveLetter $partition.DriveLetter -Force

.\msixmgr.exe -Unpack -packagePath Textpad_8.8.1.0_x64__22qe32n2bs3cw.msix -destination “F:\TPad2021” -applyacls
