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...

Hi atplsx
Can you please mention the version of MSIX Packaging Tool that you are using? It seems like the feature is working in the latter screenshots.

i use 1.2023.807.0 version
It was doing this in the previous stable version, but now even though I choose the program, when I package it, it does not put exe and other files in it.

    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.
