Description

Microsoft IME Editor needs to update. It is still using Windows 8.1 compability and using InstallShield Limited Edition for build the project solution as well as it meant to write it around 2013~2015. Microsoft has appx and msix build tool for package installer.

Please uprade the project to compatible with windows 10 and 11 editions and remove InstallShield Limited Edition from the project.

Research direction

Start at the linked input-method-editor-ime-sample and inspect its project solution and existing InstallShield build setup. Determine the changes needed for Windows 10 and 11 compatibility and an AppX or MSIX-based installer; the work is done when the sample no longer depends on InstallShield and builds for the requested Windows editions.
