MSIX WPF - Package.InstalledLocation 等效项

Question

I've created an Windows Application Packaging Project for a WPF app. The app runs fine and works with a ClickOnce installer.

I'm running into a problem with MSIX because I'm using an appsetings.json file, which I've set to BuildAction=Content and Copy Always. In ClickOnce I can access that file using Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().

However in my MSIX version I keep getting an error telling me that it can't find the file and that it was expecting to see it in "C:\WINDOWS\system32".

I've opened the MSIX Bundle with WinRar and the appsettings.json is in there.

In UWP apps I read that you can get the installed location with Package.Current.InstalledLocation.Path.

Is there an equivilant for WPF apps??

In a packaged .NET Core desktop app, you should be able to get the path of the content file using the System.AppContext.BaseDirectory property:

string absolutePath = System.AppContext.BaseDirectory + "appsetings.json";
