Description
Project
MSIXCore msixmgr
Describe the bug
msixmgr does not resolve ms-resource protocol references. This is losely connected to #164 (though it is unclear if the issue author means the MSI package or msixmgr). Nevertheless, even single language packages can reference string resources in manifest items.
To Reproduce
Create a package manifest with ms-resource protocol references where applicable (localizable manifest items). Observe the install UI.
Expected behavior
msixmgr should load resources from packages.
Screenshots
Platform
Windows 7 and later

Research direction
Start with the msixmgr installation UI path and the localizable manifest items referenced in the report. Reproduce the problem with a package manifest containing ms-resource references on Windows 7 or later, then trace whether package resources are loaded. Done means msixmgr resolves those references and displays the localized manifest values during installation.
