.NET MAUI MSIX add files

Ángel Rubén Valdeolmos Carmona 611

My .NET MAUI desktop application for windows needs an .exe file and a dll (in c++) for a particular functionality. This DLL and .exe are required to be in system32. Is it possible to create an installation package (MSIX) so that the .exe and the dll are copied to system32? Or run some powershell or bat script to do the same.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Windows provides access to the application package's location.Path property for ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.

I think this is not what I'm looking for or I don't understand it. Suppose I have these 2 files in my .net maui project:

my.dll

my.exe

In a folder or in the Resources\Raw folder.

I compile the application in release mode and an msix is created.

How do I make sure that after installing my application the files mi.dll and mi.exe are copied to system32?
