Description

Please check for a duplicate first
  • I have checked the issue tracker if my bug has already been fixed or answered in another (possibly closed) issue.
Steps to reproduce the issue
  1. try installing the app at all on Windows 10 IoT LTSC using the .appinstaller or MSIX
  2. Try launching the program
  3. lose your mind as all you see is a white bar before it refuses to launch
  4. if installing manually with powershell, install the UI.Xaml and VCLibs stuff first
  5. go insane
Expected results
  1. Open a simple streamlined Setup file that just plain out works
Actual results

agony. i had to use a release from 2018 for this app to work.

Windows version

Windows 10 2004-22H2 (builds 19041-19045)

Other details

OS: Windows 10 IoT LTSC, this program completely works, but it is a complete lack of any standalone installer that completely breaks the application with newer builds, i dont understand if this is an exclusivity deal with microsoft but this issue could be avoided if there was a fallback setup program you could use, ive personally had to use EXE installers for programs with appinstaller files because they plain out do not work because of microsofts telemetry i believe

Research direction

Start by reproducing the .appinstaller or MSIX installation and launch failure on Windows 10 IoT LTSC builds 19041-19045, including the manual PowerShell dependency installation described in the issue. Inspect the application's installer and packaging configuration; done means establishing a working installation path or documenting the confirmed compatibility limitation.
