IAppxBundleFactory::CreateBundleWriter method

Creates a write-only bundle object to which app packages can be added.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateBundleWriter(
  [in]          IStream           *outputStream,
  [in]          UINT64            bundleVersion,
  [out, retval] IAppxBundleWriter **bundleWriter
);

Parameters

outputStream [in]

Type: IStream*

The output stream that receives the serialized package data. The stream must support at least the Write method.

bundleVersion [in]

Type: UINT64

The version number of the bundle.

If set to 0, CreateBundleWriter sets the version number of the bundle to a value derived from the current system time. We recommend passing 0 so version numbers are automatically generated and each successive call generates a higher version number.

For example, if you call CreateBundleWriter on 2013/12/23 3:45:00 AM UTC with bundleVersion set to 0, the version number of the bundle becomes 2013.1223.0345.0000.

bundleWriter [out, retval]

Type: IAppxBundleWriter**

The bundle writer created by this method.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an error code that includes, but is not limited to, those in the following table.

E_INVALIDARG

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

Remarks

Content added to the bundle is serialized out as an Appx bundle file to outputStream.
