Im currently deploying my MSIX Package, everything works perfect in localhost however when I install using the package itself some funcionalities of my WPF dont work. After some researches I found that all MSIX package are deployed into this super protected folder with read-only permissions: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

My problem is that im using a nugget package from Microsoft to install Microsoft.Playwright which is a tool to automate browser tasks. The following code installs the binaries for chromium browser:

var exitCode = Microsoft.Playwright.Program.Main(new[] { "install", "chromium" });
            if (exitCode != 0)
            {
                   output.Text += "Failed to install browsers" + Environment.NewLine;
            }

However because of the super protected folder C:\Program Files\WindowsApps the code above does not work.

I've tried another approach that was to install the binaries manually and then use the following code to create the object to automate browser task:

using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
                await using var browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync(new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions() { Headless = false });
                await using var browserContext = await browser.NewContextAsync();
                var page = await browserContext.NewPageAsync();
                await page.GotoAsync(website_url);
                await page.WaitForTimeoutAsync(10000f);

Even this way it still doesnt work. I did give permission myself to write on this super protected folder: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and this is the only way that works, but this is a big NO, because this folder shouldnt be unsecured.
