MSIX HKLM not read
I have created an MSIX application and the application does capture some registry data in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Odyssey\Starter Now when starting this application I see this in procmon: When I create the required registry data 'outside' the MSIX package in the local HKLM registry, the application works fine. What is going on here? Is this default behavior or do i miss here something? I think this is already some while ago mentioned in the following thread, but did not see any update so far: msix HKLM key not read | Microsoft Community Hub Anyone who can clear this behavior for me and how to fix this?Re: MSIX package and shortcut icons
Nobody ever experience this? I tested more and it looks like the 'resources.pri' file is not updated when Assets are added/removed. When using MSIX Hero or Advanced Installer I see that the 'makepri.exe' is used and a new up-to-date resources.pri is created with the updated assets/icons files. With the MSIX Packaging Tool this seems not to happen and then the icons are unknown to the package.MSIX package and shortcut icons
I see some strange behavior and can't explain why it is not working. I am playing around with the MSIX package and shortcut icons. I created them using the Visual Asset generator (https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9mz6qrqtdkf2?hl=en-US&gl=US) and copied them to the Assets folder. When configuring the shortcuts with the files, the shortcuts and package logo stays blank. When I open the manifest and point the entries hardcoded to the files the icons appear. Like this config below. <Application Id="PSFLAUNCHERTwo" Executable="PsfLauncher2.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication"> <uap3:VisualElements AppListEntry="default" BackgroundColor="transparent" Description="Fair Prod" DisplayName="Fair Prod" Square150x150Logo="Assets\Edge-Square150x150Logo.scale-400.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\Edge-Square44x44Logo.scale-400.png" VisualGroup="FCA"></uap3:VisualElements> </Application> But when removing the ".scale-400" part of the files, the icons would not appear. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong here?
