Note
You may get an error if the manifest elements DisplayName or Description contain characters disallowed by the Windows firewall; namely | and all, due to which Windows fails to create the AppContainer profile for the package. Use this reference for troubleshooting if you get an error.
Remarks
If ResourcePackage is set to true, the manifest performs these semantic checks, which aren't enforced in the schema. A manifest that violates these semantic checks will just fail to validate via the Packaging APIs.
- A resource package can't define the Dependencies, Capabilities, Applications, Extensions (type: CT_PackageExtensions), and Framework elements.
- A resource package can't define Package\Identity\@ProcessorArchitecture, so it always defaults to neutral.
- Resources\Resource elements for a resource package can only define one type of attribute, for example, only Language or Scale.
