msix[admin].exe tool propertysheet install - Fails to load due to ACL #31

Description

@DrusTheAxe

msix[admin].exe tool propertysheet install registers MSIXPropertySheet.dll but Explorer can't load it due to pkgdir ACL'ing

Upcoming fix will address this issue.

WORKAROUND: Copy the property sheet DLL and msixadmin.exe from the MSIX package to ApplicationData and then install it e.g. for an x64 system if 0.9.1 is installed

COPY "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\37849TrollCaveEnterprises.MSIXcli_0.9.2.0_x64__r91mwp1sztvzy\msixadmin.exe" %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\37849TrollCaveEnterprises.MSIXcli_r91mwp1sztvzy\LocalState\
COPY "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\37849TrollCaveEnterprises.MSIXcli_0.9.2.0_x64__r91mwp1sztvzy\MSIXPropertySheet.dll" %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\37849TrollCaveEnterprises.MSIXcli_r91mwp1sztvzy\LocalState\
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\37849TrollCaveEnterprises.MSIXcli_r91mwp1sztvzy\LocalState\msixadmin.exe tool propertysheet install --confirm

WORKAROUND#2: Use the unpackaged MSIXcli

  1. Download the .zip, .7z or .nuget from GitHub
  2. Extract msixadmin.exe and MSIXPropertySheet.dll to a directory of your choosing
  3. msixadmin.exe tool propertysheet install --confirm
