Capture of package with shortcut with arguments

The packaging tool appears to loose command line arguments.  This is likely a flaw in the underlying manifest XML schema.

 

I know that AppX shortcuts have this limitation, but MSIX needs to have a way to support command line arguments.

 

This issue is related to the next one :

  • Tool will add support for this as soon as the platform work is complete.

      Yes. Definitely needs some sort of automation support .. after all, probably only a matter of time before Chocolatey gets support for installing these, and that beautiful framework relies on command line arguments all the way.
