Control compression of html file when packaging UWP app as an APPX

I'm looking for documentation for how to change the compression for HTML files using the makeappx.exe tool https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh446767(v=vs.85).aspx

When running the makeappx pack /v I can see in the logs something like:

Settings for extension html: Type = text/html, Compression = Normal.
Adding "C:\SNIP\Content\StartPage.html" to the package as a payload file.  Its path in the package is "Content\StartPage.html".

What I'd like is to do is set the Compression to "None". (because it's removing the Cariage returns and corrupting the Mark-Of-The-Web in the StartPage.html.) I can't find any documentation for how to do this though. Thanks!

Solution

  • What I'd like is to do is set the Compression to "None".

    If you type makeappx pack /? you will see there is a /nc option, which will prevent the tool from compressing the files: enter image description here

    So the command will be makeappx pack /v /nc.
