Remarks

The external folder is a disk ___location outside of the package where the package manifest can reference application content. This property returns the path of the external folder for an app that is installed on a per-user basis.

This property is intended to be used when you are granting package identity by packaging with external ___location. A package with external ___location contains only a package manifest (not an executable or other application content). The package manifest references application content in an external disk ___location outside of the package.

To set the external folder, use one of the following combinations of PackageManager methods and related options properties:

• AddPackageByUriAsync: Set the ExternalLocationUri property of the options parameter.
• RegisterPackageByUriAsync: Set the ExternalLocationUri property of the options parameter.
• StagePackageByUriAsync: Set the ExternalLocationUri property of the options parameter.
