This will also work for &#8220;appxbundle,&#8221; &#8220;msix,&#8221; or &#8220;appx&#8221; extensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a> (and 10), files with the &#8220;msixbundle&#8221; format are packages that developers create using the MSIX Packing Tool that contain the installation files for applications, similar to the legacy &#8220;exe&#8221; file format.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the &#8220;msixbundle&#8221; format, the platform also offers other types of packages, including &#8220;appxbundle,&#8221; &#8220;msix,&#8221; and &#8220;appx.&#8221; These packages are similar, but they describe different bundles. For instance, the &#8220;msixbundle&#8221; or the &#8220;appxbundle&#8221; format contains multiple app packages to support different architectures, such as x86, x64, and ARM. On the other hand, the &#8220;msix&#8221; or &#8220;appx&#8221; contains the application files but for a specific architecture like x86 or x64.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, this is the format of choice for bundling an application into a single package that is then submitted to Microsoft to distribute the app through the Microsoft Store. However, Windows 11 also lets you sideload &#8220;msixbundle,&#8221; &#8220;appxbundle,&#8221; &#8220;msix,&#8221; and &#8220;appx&#8221; packages outside the app store through the App Installer or PowerShell.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a> will teach you the steps to install an app using the &#8220;msixbundle&#8221; format on Windows 11.
