I'm going through a Packing MSIX apps tutorial. At work we've got some .NET Framework WPF apps which have been deployed using the older ClickOnce deployment methodology. However, I can see that I'm going to have to drop that and use MSIX instead.
What I'm not clear on is can I make a MSIX for an old .NET Framework? The original developer wrote it using .NET Framework 4.5.2. Is it possible to create a MSIX for a .NET Framework 4.5.2 WPF app? If not, what version(s) of .NET Framework can I create a MSIX deployment for? Or will we have to upgrade this old app to .NET Core?

Is it possible to create a MSIX for a .NET Framework 4.5.2 WPF app?
Yes, it is possible to create an MSIX package for a .NET Framework 4.5.2 WPF app. You can use the MSIX Packaging Tools of Visual Studio to package your app, which allows for modern deployment options and features. Additionally, please ensure that your application targets a version of the .NET Framework that is compatible with MSIX packaging.
@Starry Night how do I determine what .NET Frameworks are compatible with MSIX packaging?
