Are there any news on this?
When can we expect the support for windows services in msix?
We would like to use msix packages but installing windows services are an important requirement for us.

@jvintzel do you have some news about the msix core support of windows service ?

I actually try to install a .net core 3 app as service with msix install to have automatic update. i run the install over a powershell script so i have the hand about a lot of stuff but even with this im unable to run a SC create for example because i have no idea where the app is installed on my powershell script.

thanks for your help !

Any updates if this is something being worked on? Our company also have usecases for this at the moment.
Would be nice to have support for this on older Windows 10 IOT (2016) core installations. Upgrading these installations to newer version is not something easily done.

Support for services in an MSIX is coming as part of the 20H1 release. It is in current insider builds. The functionality is not in MSIX Core at this time. Its an item in our backlog.

Adding a service is now officially supported for recent Desktop versions. However, no support for Windows Server 2019.

What if one wants to leverage benefits of msix to deliver binaries and, through some post-install steps, add one or more system services running those binaries (outside the container)?

@jvintzel Any guides/workarounds available?
