Windows Desktop (App) Runtime with latest MSIX Packaging Tool
Hi GrahamGB
As mentioned in MSIX February Blogpost, if the tool detects that the package has a desktop shortcut present, it automatically adds the Windows App SDK dependency in the package, along with the desktop7:Shortcut extensions in that manifest.
Can you please check if the packages in question have existing desktop shortcuts?

Fiza_Azmi Will do. I guess that makes sense. I normally remove those during install of the app, but maybe not others.
- Thanks for the clarification Fiza_Azmi, quite often I would remove the desktop shortcuts created by installers before completing the capture, however I can understand if these are removed at the package editor stage then this runtime would have been added in. I have submitted a comment on the blogpost, highlighting that the inclusion of the desktop7:shortcut results in the dependency for the runtime being flagged up as well for completeness.
