Can we have multiple fixes at the same time

Like TIMOTHY_MANGAN  replied, but with a short extra bit of info. You can use Notepad$ to indicate everything that ends with Notepad, or ^Notepad to indicate things that start with Notepad. Plus (+) is a special regexp character denoting one or more repetitions of the previous token, so you cannot use it literally. Instead, you should escape it by escaping it with a backslash character. However, since JSON file on its own uses backslash as an escaping sequence you should actually use two backslashes, like:

executable: "Notepad\\+\\+"

This should produce a correct regex for PSF runtime.

For anyone wanting to know the full syntax, you can search the web for Regex syntax info, but keep in mind that there are several dialects; Microsoft is using the ECM variant. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expression-options

Thanks once again for the reply, I was trying to update the config file to see the success but PSFLauncher64.exe is haunting me, its continue to crash, so i took the latest branch and was trying to compile 

I see initialize has 3 arguments

void Initialize(const psf::json_object* appConfig, const std::filesystem::path& currentDirectory, const std::filesystem::path& packageRootDirectory)

but only 2 params are passed.

powershellScriptRunner.Initialize(appConfig, currentDirectory); 

the branch I cloned is :

https://github.com/microsoft/MSIX-PackageSupportFramework/tree/develop

and its a compilation error.

Anything I am missing?

Thank you,

Vikas

tester2420 Good. That's what I was going to suggest.  I discovered earlier this week that some of the changes in the PR didn't get integrated causing the issue you've seen. There will be a new PR shortly to fix that in the sources.  I don't think any other issues from the missing changes should affect you.

Dear Tim Mangan 

I have another doubt, let say there is more than one entry point and i want to apply fix, Id will be

"id": "PSFLAUNCHERSIXFOUR" for each entry point and this will lead to schema validation error.

How to handle this situation.

Kind regards,

Vikas

Sleeping_Developer The solution to the multiple entrypoints to the same exe issue I solve by making copies of the PsfLauncherxx.exe file.  Each entrypoint gets a unique name, and thus unique munged ID.

In PsfTooling they get copied as Psflauncher1.exe, PsfLauncher2.exe, and so on for the shortcuts; PsfLauncherFTA1.exe and so on for the FTAs (when necessary).  You could keep the bitness in those names, but the munched ID is capped at 16 characters so watch out.

Thank you so much TIMOTHY_MANGAN , i have tried this and its working, Great!

now i am wondering if we can have two fixes for the same entry points(exe).

@TIMOTHY MANGAN 

Dear Tim,

I am having another encoding problem with notepad++

my config.json looks like this

"applications": [
{
"id": "PSFLAUNCHERSIXFOUR",
"executable": "VFS/ProgramFilesX86/Notepad++/notepad++.exe",
"workingDirectory": "VFS/ProgramFilesX86/Notepad++"
}
],
"processes": [
{
"executable": "notepad++",

and once i build the msix and launch it is giving regex error around encoding(i believe) regex_error

---------------------------
Package Support Framework
---------------------------
regex_error(error_badrepeat): One of *?+{ was not preceded by a valid regular expression.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Please let me know if there is any solution for this i have tried escaping and encoding + by %20.

Kind Regards,

Vikas

tester2420 The fixups are applied and configured on the basis of the filename of the launched process, so while you can use the launcher for different command arguments to the same target process, the target process will get the same fixups and fixup configuration.  But you really should be able to have a single configuration that works for both launch points.
