Set recovery configuration for service installed from MSIX ?

Hello,
I was following this guide to install a service with MSIX - https://www.advancedinstaller.com/msix- ... vices.html
However it does not specify how to set the recovery options of the service, which are currently doing nothing. ("Take No Action"). I would like to be able to set them to restart the service.
I also tried following the instruction in this comment viewtopic.php?p=119378#p119378 and added a failure action (set it to configure on both Install & Reinstall), but this also did not change the existing service and it is still "Take No Action".

I cannot use the workaround of running a powershell script custom-action since this results in an "Access is denied" error even as admin (I assume because this is presumably changing something in the MSIX?)

I am using Advanced Installer 21.4

Re: Set recovery configuration for service installed from MSIX ?

Hello,

Unfortunately, this might not be supported just yet.

From the first article you linked:

Additionally, I saw some more articles from the MSIX forums which also leads to me thinking that this might not be supported.

Recovery option in Windows Service - MSIX

This feature request from 2023:

[Feature Request] Make it possible to specify the recovery options for a packaged service #574
