Packing Apps with built in JRE...
The new version of the free PsfTooling (4.14) is now available in the Microsoft Store or TMurgent website. This includes many important fixes to the PSF that I announced earlier today (https://www.tmurgent.com/TmBlog/?p=3309 ). This version solves a number of launching issues that we have been discussing, including PSF Scripting, and the launching of cmd files directly from the launcher.
Of importance for me to point out: The shell launch of a cmd/bat file by PsfLauncher used to drop out of the container and have no access to package files. This is due to a change made by Microsoft a couple of years ago in the OS. I found a way to overcome this in the 2021.09.23 PSF version, so that those shortcuts will work as you'd expect now.
I'll also mention that one of the apps with a "crappy java" I was pointed to was the UVC app. This is a very old Java version which has additional behaviors that the PSF can't cope with today due to unanticipated OS limitations in the container. Sorry!
