Description

I am using vcpkg to manage packages for my project and would really like to use Pix events in order to profile. However, I do not want to manage two seperate package managers and I would not like to have to build WinPixEventRuntime.dll myself every time there is an update. Considering that both are microsoft products and many other people use vcpkg as well, there should be a port of WinPixEventRuntime to vcpkg.

Research direction

The issue identifies WinPixEventRuntime and vcpkg as the integration points but names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing the repository's build and packaging entry points and vcpkg port conventions; done means WinPixEventRuntime can be installed and consumed through vcpkg without manual DLL builds.
