Support desktop shortcut creation for partialTrustApplication #266

Description

@cseas

We have an MSIX packaged application that's supposed to run in partialTrust mode:

<Application Id="SandboxApp" Executable="MyApplication.exe" EntryPoint="windows.partialTrustApplication">

We want to create a Desktop Shortcut for it upon install. Since MSIX doesn't support desktop creation, most articles online suggest using PSF as a workaround. [1, 2]

However, it looks like to use PSF for creating desktop shortcut, we'll need to specify EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication" in the manifest file, replacing our application's exe with psflauncher.

<Application Id="App" Executable="psflauncher64.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">

Is it possible to run psflauncher as partialTrust? I can't find this info documented anywhere.
