Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with an MSIX package where the application fails to launch, but the same application runs correctly when installed through its setup. I've thoroughly checked the installation, and all the required files seem to be present in the package. The only hint I have is the error message I received during debugging:

Application Name that generated the error:
MyAppWindows.exe, Version: 1.0.0.0, Timestamp:
0xcb0265d7

Module Name that generated the error:
TraceFixup32.dll, Version: Timestamp:
0x63f88fca

Exception Code: 0xc0000005
Error Offset: 0x000313c9

Process ID that generated the error: 0x0x67F()
Time of Application Start that generated
the error: 0x0x1D9AE8AA3071429

Application Path that generated the error:
C:\Program
Installer_l .O. I
AppData\MyAppWindows\MyAppWindows.exe

Module Path that generated the error: C:
\Program Files\WindowsApps\MyAppWindows-
Installer_l .().
\TraceFixup32.dll

Report ID:
6d5e4a0d-821a-408d-9e99-5d224b968919

Package Full Name that generated the error:
MyAppWindows-
Application ID related to the package that
generated the error: MYAPPWINDOWS

It appears that the application "MyAppWindows.exe" encounters an issue with the module "TraceFixup32.dll," resulting in an exception code of "0xc0000005," indicating an access violation error. This means the application is trying to access an invalid memory address, leading to the launch failure.

I've verified the MSIX package configuration, dependencies, and even examined the logs, but I couldn't find any clues to resolve this problem.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue with MSIX applications not launching? Any suggestions or insights to troubleshoot and fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
