Hi All,
Scenario: I have an app with multiple shortcuts, in those one shortcut's Target is "cmd.exe" and argument is path of a batch script file(.bat file). I have tried to create MSIX package with the help of PSF Tool. while testing I am able to launch every shortcut, except this one (which has batch script).
I tried the below things:
1. As we know there is no communication between MSIX container and the native cmd.exe file, I have copied cmd.exe (which is not recommendable) file into msix package and tried to launch the shortcut. It didn't work.
2. In config.json file, replaced cmd.exe with the psflauncher.exe in place of target, which mean this psflauncher will call the .bat file to execute. It didn't work
3. In config.json file, placed .bat file path in Target place with out any arguments. It didn't work.
Is there any thing else to try other than above, please advise and guide.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi @sidharthverma,
The Express edition is a fully free version, all you need to do is to register with an email when you start using it. It shouldn't go into trial mode. Do you also have a separate version of Advanced Installer (Pro/Enterprise or Architect) installed on your machine? Maybe there is a license conflict between the Express edition and the commercial edition.
Regarding the option to select a BAT file - when you try to configure/select your application do you see the following option in the file picker? It should allow you to pick EXE and BAT file, as shown in the screenshot.

The PSF Release 2022.1.19 should appear in the next PsfTooling release (target version 5). There is no set date for the next PsfTooling release, other than soon.
