PsfLauncher64.exe ~ The system cannot find the file specified
Joker2020
I think you misunderstood the question. I am the developer of the application, that is packaged as MSIX with the Package Support Framework. I have a number of users that cannot launch the application and they are getting the above error and I do not know why.
I am aware of an old flaw in the detection logic used by the Psflauncher to determine if powershell is present on the system, and some of the user's systems might be affected. I have fixed that issue in my fork (https://github.com/TimMangan/MSIX-PackageSupportFramework).
Hi @TimMangan Is this fixed in your latest PSFlauncher version? I tested it with the MS latest version and there still the issue is there. I tested it myself today and found out that the detection of the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\Install=1 is not working properly. We have systems without this value and those will get the issue still 😞
- Yes. You may notice a new version of my fork released today. Tooling using the new version also will be out this week - but this issue should be resolved in current releases anyway.
Hi Timothy,
I tried the latest tmurgent fork of PSF with a MSIX package for SAP GUI because I had trouble on some systems with the PSF from Msix packaging tool not being able to find Powershell.
But with the Tmurgent PSF the application SAP GUI has trouble with Edge webview2, pages are not displayed. Only when SAP runs elevated it works correctly (which is not an option in a locked down environment)
I do not have this isuse with the Msix packaging tool PSF.
