Trying to MSIX package LOB application that needs TWAIN access

I had written a comprehensive reply to this but it looks like the system deleted it after I posted it because I mentioned the name of a very popular imaging tool that has the same issue? 😡

To Summarise, my MSIX package only contains my application, a simple .NET application that interacts with the TWAIN Data Source manager found in c:\windows\system32\twaindsm.dll

It doesn't install any drivers or folders to system32, or install any scanning device drivers. All these are installed natively on the Windows OS outside of my MSIX Package

When the 64-bit version of TWAIN data source manager is loaded, it scans the C:\Windows\twain_64\ folder for scanner drivers installed.

Each sub folder generally has its own scanner driver within it. There can be any number of sub-folders here depending on how many different scanning devices you have installed.

The TWAINDSM loads the *.ds file contained in this sub-folder that is the scanner driver, with a LoadLibrary call

This call works fine outside of an MSIX container, but if it tries to do the same thing within an MSIX container, it fails to load the DS file

I'm not sure what other debugging steps I can take to diagnose why it cannot load the files.

The Source code is available on github for the TWAINDSM dll and the logs above point to where it fails @ apps.cpp 1557

Hopefully this post is not deleted like the last.
