Packaging JT2Go for MSIX
The software was packaged on Windows 10 21H2 using Microsoft MSIX Packaging Tool 1.2022.512 with the PSF using TMEditX.
Installation was done using typical edits of the cmd file provided by the vendor.
Additionally, due to a current bug in the containerized registry, it is necessary to pre-create the registry HKCU\Software\JT2Go_Retained\13.3\Common\C\VPSearch\LocationCache (for version 13.2.xxx) to avoid a runtime issue involving this key.
It is possible to pre-authorize the license agreement via the registry as well.
PsfLauncher with FileRedirectionFixup. It also seems to migrate the external manifest file "Registration-free COM" private registration into the AppXManifest file (TMEditX 2.4 and above support automating this migration).

EXE based installer

The main exe installer supports passive and silent installation:
Copy the JT2GoSetup.exe file into a new folder created in the temp folder.
Copy an edited version of the CustomInstall.cmd file to the same folder (script shown below). Create a folder %localAppData5/Siemens/myConfig
cd to the temp folder.
Run the CustomInstall.cmd file (elevated.)
Disable the EULA via registry change (script shown below).
