Brief description of your issue

We package our application as MSIX on windows, whenever user tries to install the application through this MSIX package file it fails with error: Error in parsing the app package.

We have narrowed down the issue to the packagedServices capability:

<rescap:Capability Name="packagedServices" />

When removing that capability the MSIX installs successfully, however the application then obviously lacks the necessary Windows service.

The issue appears with Windows Package Manager v1.12.340 and later. On earlier versions everything works as expected

Steps to reproduce

Download the package
Try to install it

Press Restart as administrator

It fails with Error in parsing the app package

Expected behavior

Application is expected to be installed

Actual behavior

Installation fails
