PowerToys Setup Project
Build instructions
- Install the WiX Toolset Visual Studio 2019 Extension.
- Install the WiX Toolset build tools in the development machine.
- Open
powertoys.sln
, select the "Release" and "x64" configurations and build thePowerToysSetup
project. - The resulting installer will be built to
PowerToysSetup\bin\Release\PowerToysSetup.msi
.
Building and installing self-signed PowerToys MSIX package
For the first-time installation, you should generate a self-signed certificate and add it to the TRCA store. That could be done by simply running generate_self_sign_cert.ps1
from a powershell admin. After that:
- Make sure you've built the
Release
configuration ofpowertoys.sln
- Launch
msix_reinstall.ps1
from the devenv powershell
msix_reinstall.ps1
removes the current PowerToys installation, restarts explorer.exe (to update PowerRename shell extension), builds PowerToys-x64.msix
package, signs it with a PowerToys_TemporaryKey.pfx, and finally installs it.
