Framework Package Support #243

Closed SaiiDey closed 9 months ago

SaiiDey commented 1 year ago

Implementing framework package lookup in PSF. Apps looking for other apps via registry or environment variables can work with this. You still need to know how the main application tries to look for dependency data and add them to config

I'm concerned about adding WinRT to PSF. One feature of PSF is allowing apps to work down level. Is this still true with WinRT?

Add relevant readme sections in Registry Legacy and Environment variable fixups

Added. Do check them if they explanation is clear.

We are only using Package class in WinRT to get information about other packages. Of which, only EffectivePath seems to be added later in 2004 windows version. That version has already crossed its servicing life. So it should work with all supported older versions of windows.
