Research direction
Start by running the MrtCore/winforms_unpackaged_app sample from the linked Project-Reunion-Samples path and reproduce the startup crash. Inspect how this unpackaged WinForms sample is launched at F5 and how its dependent MSIX packages are declared or handled. Done means the sample starts without the reported crash and dependent packages are installed at F5 time.
