Versions:
AppInstaller File Builder is a Windows 10 utility released by Microsoft that enables developers and IT administrators to generate AppInstaller files without manual XML editing. Designed to streamline the sideloading workflow for MSIX and MSI packages, the tool offers a graphical interface in which the target package path, update settings, digital signature options, and required Windows version can be specified; the resulting .appinstaller document is then written automatically and can be placed on an intranet or web server so that end-users obtain seamless in-place updates through the built-in App Installer client. Typical use cases include enterprise line-of-business roll-outs that need automatic updating, independent software vendors that wish to distribute desktop programs outside the Microsoft Store, and system integrators who maintain internal package repositories. By eliminating syntax errors and automating hash generation, the utility shortens the preparation phase of modern packaging pipelines and integrates cleanly with Visual Studio or CI/CD scripts that call it from the command line. The program belongs to the Developer Tools / Packaging category, occupies only a few megabytes, and requires no elevated rights for ordinary authoring tasks. Version 1.2020.221.0 represents the initial public release and remains the sole edition currently offered. AppInstaller File Builder is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
