The MSIX Packaging Tool enables users and IT admins to repackage existing applications to the MSIX format without the need for source code, hence making the transition a lot easier.

These include support for portable apps, child process monitoring to help increase the accuracy of the conversion processes, the ability to exclude Windows services using the "Service Exclusion" tab, improvements to Package Support Framework (PSF), and finally Package Editor enhancements.
