Description

Project
MSIX SDK or Win7Msix

Describe the bug
When I try to install MSIX Core on Wine (W7) it gives me an error loading resources, and can't show the text.

To Reproduce
Install the MSI on Wine and run MSIXMGR

Expected behavior
I was expecting it to load resources correctly

Screenshots

msixerror2

Platform

Wine: Windows 7, Host: Ubuntu 22.04

Additional context
It seems to be linking incorrectly to the MUI files, but I already copied them to the System32 folder and it is still not working.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure described when installing the MSI and running MSIXMGR under Wine on Windows 7, with Ubuntu 22.04 as the host. Investigate the reported MUI resource-loading path; done means MSIX Core loads its resources and displays text correctly in that environment.
