After the 2023.703.0.0 update for Windows Configuration Designer, I have been unable to add an application to the provisioning package.

After entering the application name, targeting the installer path, and clicking "Add", the "Add" button turns grey and nothing happens.User's image

I have tested this on multiple devices, and they are all getting the same issue.

This worked fine two weeks ago, prior to the 2023.703.0.0 update.

Any workaround/ideas?

    Yes dear. Install all visual redistributables, windows SDK comes with its own configuration designer aside Microsoft store one. Try different version if that does not solve it - install visual studio community with windows SDK provided.

    I tried installing Visual Studio with the SDK but I still have the same problem. Is there a Windows Configuration Designer in Visual Studio itself?

    Prior WCD releases are distributed in the Windows ADK and can be installed from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install.
