UE4 games on Microsoft/Windows Store and Appx Package

Development Platform & Builds
1

Hi,

I want to upload my game to the windows store, it says I need to package and upload my game as an appx file.
Here is a link to something called MakeAppx.exe .

In this answer hub, is Tim Sweeney saying that you cannot do this? I am not talking about windows phone, just win desktop.

Then there is this page “downloads for building store apps” :
Windows Dev Center | Microsoft Developer

Does anybody have any more information or have done this before? I am working on windows 7. We are downloading the files now and have a windows store account from dreamspark.

The app model for Windows Store is very different than Win32. And simply put, UE4 is currently not able to actually make a Windows Store package. This is simply not an avenue you can take at the moment
