Research direction

Start with the MSIX.msix-ci-automation-task.app-installer-file.AppInstallerFile@1 task and the MSIX SDK or Win7Msix App Installer generation path. Trace how the shown inputs become the .appinstaller file; done means ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion can be specified and is emitted so the resulting application can be downgraded.
