The MSIX Packaging Tool Driver monitors the system to capture the changes that an installer is making on the system which allows MSIX Packaging Tool to create a package based on those changes. If you run into an issue, try checking our troubleshooting documentation, then filing a Feedback Hub issue if the problem persists. The tool will first check with DISM to see if the driver is installed. The MSIX Packaging Tool Driver is required and the tool will automatically try to enable it if it is not enabled. Next, the Prepare computer page provides options to prepare the computer for packaging.
