Missing a .lib dependency and PathRemoveFileSpecW is deprecated anyways. I'll fix.

Hi I notice there is a bug for context menu showing up under dhow more options as well as the the new windows 11 one any chance to fix this

Hi,
Thank you so much for replying. Its really helping me a lot.
As a part of implementing the context menu , I was trying to figure out a way to just hardcode a few submenu options into the "Edit with Notepad" option that you gave created. Can you please help me modify your code so that I can achieve this.
And also is there any other way packaging and delivering this project without the application having to be packaged (app identity with a sparse manifest) and signed with a valid certificate.
Thank you

I followed the tutorial step by step but it seems that I'm missing something.
Do I have to install the MSIX package after signing it?
I didn't customize your code and I build it just after cloning it. I just set the debug configuration of "ContextMenuImplementation" to x64 because it was set to ARM and it was blocking the build.

If I try to install the package, I have to install the .pfx certificate, then I get a message error with code 0x80070032.

What should I do, then?

Given that the demonstration uses a self-signed certificate and has to be explicitly trusted on the demo machine, what happens if you try and install it on another clean Windows machine where the certificate isn't trusted?

Hello,

the sample here uses PackageManager.AddPackageByUriAsync which regsiters the package per-user.
What's the way to do that machine-wide?

Hi, Thank you so much for replying for my previous query.
Instead of hardcoding our custom option in the context menu, can we make our custom option appear on the context menu based the selected file's location/path. And then make the submmenus appear accordingly?
Thanks
