Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/3278

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Due to a platform issue, elevated application packages occasionally fail
to find all of their dependencies. The real fix for this is going to
take a lot of time and probably a new build of Windows.

The fix we have here switches us to a non-"release" build of
Microsoft.UI.Xaml. The critical thing about their non-release builds is
that they prefer to embed their DLLs into the hosting package instead of
expressing a platform dependency.

This build of Microsoft.UI.Xaml was produced from the same commit as
the original and official build; the only difference is that it will
embed into our package.

Fixes #3275.
