EtherApps Forge - MSIX App Packaging

Modernise legacy Windows applications with capture-first MSIX packaging. EtherApps Forge captures applications directly from running Windows systems, even when original installer media is missing, and creates deployment-ready MSIX, IntuneWin, MSI and AppAttach packages for Windows 11, Microsoft Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365.

Package legacy applications and developer builds in one workflow.

• Capture installed legacy applications from clean or existing Windows environments.
• Convert MSI and App-V sources into modern MSIX packages.
• Use forge_msix as a makeappx.exe-compatible developer drop-in for Visual Studio build and CI pipelines, with package preparation, signing, timestamping, validation and smoke testing.
• Apply Package Support Framework fix-ups when legacy applications need help running correctly inside the MSIX container.
• Produce MSIX, IntuneWin, MSI and AppAttach outputs from one packaging workflow.
• Use AI-guided packaging and MCP integration to analyse dependencies, recommend the right package route and prepare repeatable outputs while the packaging team keeps final review.

Try the complete Forge workflow free for 7 days. The trial includes GUI and CLI access with up to 25 captures. Marketplace manages the trial-to-paid transition, while Forge keeps licences and subscription quantities aligned.
