PSF Tool @ TIMOTHY MANGAN - any limitation of size to Inject Fixups to the MSIX package
Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN, Do we have any limitation of size to inject the fixups into the MSIX package. Right now we are working on one application of size 3GB which contains around 40+ shortcuts, most ...

Obvious answers:
- There should not be a limitation on size of either individual files or total file size in MSIX in general.
- These shouldn't be one in PsfTooling either, but bugs do happen.
- The json created by PsfTooling is certainly not optimized as it attempts to be very specific. The json created by TMEditX would be much smaller as we now see that when we apply fixes we almost always want to apply them to any process running in the container. Eventually I may migrate that method into PsfTooling, but I am waiting to see if I get any complaints that this method is too simple.
Less obvious, and maybe not answers:
- There is an open bug in PsfTooling against an app installing to a private folder. Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce the issue so it is on hold. Quite possibly there is a bug there as Psf Support for VFS\AppVPackagingDrive changed at some point, and it would be advised to cajole the install into a Program Files folder.
- The additional shortcuts should have shown. What version of PsfTooling was used?
