MSIX
Full Functional
The software was packaged on Windows 10 21H2 using Microsoft MSIX Packaging Tool 1.2022.512 both with the PSF using TMEditX. The PSF Launcher, with FRF are recommended. TMEditX is also used to add the 2 fonts to the manifest. While the basic product is fine, Extensions are having an issue. So while it would be possible to build a package with the extensions already in there, it just isn't a reasonable way to deploy. While the FRF should help, the issue is how the app tries to do file work in two different parts, leading to different redirection paths generated.
App-V
Full Functional
Allow VFS Writes is recommended.
