Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Insights.Resource.dll missing from Foundation package #6387
Description
Describe the bug
The DLL Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Insights.Resource.dll is missing from the Foundation NuGet package, causing ReleaseInfo and RuntimeInfo APIs to fail.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Create a blank project and install Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation package
- Call
Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationModel.WindowsAppRuntime.ReleaseInfo.AsString - Notice crash on startup
Expected behavior

Additional context
This doesn't happen if the user has the Runtime NuGet package installed since that package will extract all Framework MSIX package contents (including Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Insights.Resource.dll), which will make this functionality work.

I also got the same exception since I upgraded Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK from
1.8.260317003to2.0.1amadeo-alex commentedon May 28, 2026
Each time I upgrade WindowsAppSDK something breaks, come one m$.
Same, self-contained.
