Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/7567

State: closed
Merged: Yes


By setting the jumplist entries to launch WindowsTerminal.exe out of
the package root, we've inadvertently made WindowsTerminalDev emit jump
list entries that launch the unpackaged version of Terminal.

We can fix this by copying the code from the shell extension that
determines which version of the executable to launch -- wt, wtd or
WindowsTerminal -- depending on the context under which it was invoked.

Fixes #7554
