start point is not detected in portable programs

start point is not detected in portable programs and visual assets are not rendered either, it was working properly in previous versions of msix packaging tools.   <Package xmlns="http://schemas.m...

Yes, just wanted to confirm if you're on the latest version as the screenshot indicates a previous version. This should ideally work in the latest build.

Can you please attach the package that you're trying to convert?

It worked in all previous versions, but it doesn't work in this version.

    atplsx MPT has native capability to convert portable apps but it can only detect a portable app if it has .zip extension. Extract "mkvtoolnix.exe" to a folder and then zip that folder back to .zip. In the 'Application package' flow, browse this .zip file from "Select installer" page. Proceed further until create package page. This flow creates start menu tiles for all the executable present inside the root of zip. Remove the ones you don't need from package manifest file in package editor flow.

      In previous versions, when I created a self-extracting archive (.exe) by compressing it with 7-zip, it detected the starting point as 1.2023.319.0, for example this version. Assets is not created when I create zip
