Redirect files to local %localappdata% folder
Since nobody replies and probably have any clue to fix this, I tried myself something. When configuring my path from %localappdata% to %userprofile%, i moved the data content out of the APPDATA folder and then it will be stored locally and not redirected....woohoo an acceptable solution for me.
You now have a couple of other choices:
1) You can choose not use the FileRedirectionFixup, but enable InstalledLocationVirtualization. ILV will solve some file related issues and let you write to the native %localappdata%.
2) You can replace the FileRedirectionFixup with the new MfrFixup, which fixes issues that normally require the FRF but supports the ability to redirect locally to %LocalAppdata%.
There isn't a release of PsfTooling with the MfrFixup yet (probably February), but it is available in the TMEditX released last week.
But glad to see you worked around it.
Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN thanks 'again' for your answer.
Although I worked around it, I am curious how to configure the package to be able to output the data to the native %localappdata% folder.
1. when I enable ILV in the manifest file, like you describe in your article, then the writing to the %localappdata% will work? Or is ore configuration required?
About your TMEditX: I used that version also and created a package last week. But at the end my generated msix was not working and crashing all the time when created by TMeditX. I hear more people haveing the same experience. Are you aware of that?
