The release of UniGetUI 3.3.1, specifically the MSIX Beta 1 version, marks a significant update aimed at enhancing executable integrity through a migration to the MSIX packaging format. This move is facilitated by Windows and the Appx/MSIX infrastructure, ensuring a more secure installation process. However, it's important to note that UniGetUI will still function unpackaged, maintaining its previous operational capabilities.
In this beta release, users will either be transitioned to the MSIX format or reverted back based on the feedback and performance of this initial rollout. The release package includes three key files:
1. UniGetUI.Installer.exe: This is the default installer which deploys the MSIX package while removing any legacy installations of UniGetUI and ensuring that all necessary dependencies are installed.
2. UniGetUI.x64.Msix: This file represents the MSIX version of UniGetUI, which may require additional dependencies such as Visual C++ Redistributable and Edge WebView to function correctly.
3. UniGetUI.x64.zip: This archive contains the raw binary files of UniGetUI for users who prefer to create portable installations.
Additionally, the release provides SHA256 checksums for each of the files to verify their integrity:
- UniGetUI.Installer.exe: A09075F3D766C610EAC949DC79F8B3D21BD0D6E996BC0FA7B24A908EFE5A7192
- UniGetUI.x64.Msix: 2A5A9FDF527F3DADD6B0F910047944EE47187995A69CBC87D077965D79DE0F10
- UniGetUI.x64.zip: A4DCCCB0ED04A960DB61A83EE35A8315A3D95D8CC8C0C6B6AFAFC639C45D9F91
As this is a beta release, the developers encourage user feedback to determine the viability of migrating all users to the MSIX format in the future. Depending on the success of this version, further updates may be rolled out to improve stability and functionality
