MSIX Package working on 23H3 but not 24H3: System.Numerics.Vectors conflict
NOTE: There may be multiple issues that match the generic "MSIX packages that work on Windows 11 23H3 fail upon launch on 24H2". This is a specific issue and anyone with different symptoms should start a new issue rather than jump onto this one.
I have an MSIX package that consists of three applications, all built using .Net Framework 4.8.1. The package works great on Windows 10, and Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2. On Windows 11 24H2 the package fails as one of the three applications crashes without UI appearing. In one case, I tested the app installed on 23H2 successfully and after installing the OS upgrade to 24h2 the application now fails.
The symptoms are that the crash occurs early, apparently before the mainwindow initializes, a WerFault occurs, and there is an interesting event in the Windows Logs/Application file.
My analysis of the situation is that there is a new conflict in System.Numerics.Vectors versions that did not cause an issue on the earlier OS builds I tested.
All three applications in the package use checkboxes in the mainpage.xaml. It appears to me from the dump file that this wants to use System.Numerics.Vectors 4.1.4.0.
A difference in the problem app from the other two in the package (which also use checkboxes) is that the app uses the NuGet package PowerShellStandardLibrary 5.1.1. This library claims no dependencies have noticed it needs a newer version of System.Numerics.Vectors anyway. The package has the NuGet package System.Numerics.Vectors 4.6.0 installed in two of the three applications in the package, including the broken app and one app without the issue (which is not using the PowerShell library).
The interesting event recorded is from .Net Runtime, EventId=1026.

I took a full dump (available upon request), and the analysis points to code the crash occurring in code that is processing in System.Windows.Markup.WpfXamlLoader:Load
and an inner exception says
| Name | Value | Type | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ◢ | InnerException | {"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Numerics.Vectors, Version=4.1.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)":"System.Numerics.Vectors, Version=4.1.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"} | System.Exception {System.IO.FileLoadException} |
I am pretty much out of my element in debugging XAML processing, but this pretty much smells like a Microsoft bug in an OS supplied component.
Feel free to reach out to me for the dmp file or MSIX package if you'd like it.
Being the developer, I managed to work around the issue with a change to the application. But the underlying issue that made the app not work on 24H2 would still exist for other apps.

I also enabled the fusion log. Entries on the exception are shown here:

This seems to point to PackageManager.commands (for access to the AppXPackage class returned by the powershell module).
