Problem
Applications published as msixbundles with trimming enabled (
PublishTrimmed=true) crash on startup with the following exception:This happens because the
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariablemethod is trimmed out during the publishing process whenPublishTrimmedis set totrue.Solution
This PR implements two key improvements to fix the issue:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariablecall to handle theMissingMethodExceptiongracefully.SetEnvironmentVariableWfunction directly when the .NET method is not available.The fallback approach ensures the environment variable gets set even in trimmed environments, allowing the application to start properly. This is important for
PublishSingleFilesupport which relies on theMICROSOFT_WINDOWSAPPRUNTIME_BASE_DIRECTORYenvironment variable for SxS redirection.Changes
UndockedRegFreeWinRT-AutoInitializer.csto catch theMissingMethodExceptionSetEnvironmentVariableWfunctionFixes #11.
