## Building and installing self-signed PowerToys MSIX package
For the first-time installation, you should generate a self-signed certificate and add it to the [TRCA store](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/trusted-root-certification-authorities-certificate-store). That could be done by simply running `

For the first-time installation, you'll need to generate a self-signed certificate. The script below will generate and add a cert to your [TRCA store](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/trusted-root-certification-authorities-certificate-store).
1. Open `Developer PowerShell for VS` as an Admin
2. Navigate to your repo's `installer\MSIX`
3. Run `.\generate_self_sign_cert.ps1`

* Make sure you've built the `Release` configuration of `powertoys.sln`
* Launch `msix_reinstall.ps1` from the devenv powershell
## To Build
1. Make sure you've built the `Release` configuration of `powertoys.sln`
2. Open `Developer PowerShell for VS`
3. Navigate to your repo's `installer\MSIX`
4. Run `.\msix_reinstall.ps1` from the devenv powershell

### What msix_reinstall.ps1 does
`msix_reinstall.ps1` removes the current PowerToys installation, restarts explorer.exe (to update PowerRename shell extension), builds `PowerToys-x64.msix` package, signs it with a PowerToys_TemporaryKey.pfx, and finally installs it.
