# How to integrate new MSIX module with PowerToys Settings and WiX installer
|
||
|
|
[`issue_11705_with_example` branch](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/issue_11705_with_example) contains HelloWorld UWP C# MSIX application which reads its module settings and is installed along PowerToys.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Steps
|
||
|
|
- uncomment everything near "TODO: Use to activate embedded MSIX" comments
|
||
|
|
- build PowerToys solution
|
||
|
|
- deploy HelloModule module and sign it with a self-signed certificate (don't forget to put it into a trusted store)
|
||
|
|
- build PowerToysSetup solution and install it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type HelloModule into start search and observe that it was installed:

|

|
|
Open PowerToys settings and change the stub setting to something:

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open HelloModule:

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First time you press "Load Settings", it'll detect that it doesn't have permissions to access local file system and open its system settings window, toggle it there:

|
(it's a known uwp limitation, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/53533414/657390)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HelloModule will close then, restart it, press "Load Settings" and you should see that the application was able to load the setting string which was set by the settings app:
