You almost certainly shouldn't be attempting to run WindowsTerminal.exe out of our package directly. When the app is installed, it should install an "app execution alias" for wt.exe. The path for that should be something like %localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe - does that work/?

Try running where wt. If that can't find it, then either the wt App Execution Alias isn't enabled, or your %PATH% is messed up.

First try toggling the App Execution Alias for WT off then on the screen at https://stackoverflow.com/a/66539884/1743

If that doesn't work, then make sure C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ is on your PATH
