/APPCONTAINER (Windows Store App)
Specifies whether the linker creates an executable image that must be run in an app container.
/APPCONTAINER[:NO]
Remarks
By default, /APPCONTAINER is off.
This option modifies an executable to indicate whether the app must be run in the appcontainer process-isolation environment. Specify /APPCONTAINER for an app that must run in the appcontainer environment—for example, a Windows Store app. (The option is set automatically in Visual Studio when you create a Windows Store app from a template.) For a desktop app, specify /APPCONTAINER:NO or just omit the option.
The /APPCONTAINER option was introduced in Windows 8.
