175403d86d fix: Improve tray icon theming and installer icon handling (#44715) 
Add "svgs" directory and icon files to installer, ensuring proper
install/uninstall and registry registration. Enhance logging in
general_settings.cpp for theme-adaptive tray icon config changes.
Refactor tray_icon.cpp to improve icon loading robustness, add detailed
diagnostics, and ensure fallback to default icon if theme-adaptive icon
fails to load. These changes improve error handling and maintainability
for tray icon theming.

e1edcc13b7 Fix the issue where the InstallLocation is missing after upgrading (#43462) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
**Root Cause**

The issue occurs because the Installed property in MSI indicates whether
the current product code has been installed on the machine.
During a Major Upgrade (where the old and new versions have different
ProductCode values), the installation sequence is:
1. Burn schedules uninstall of the old MSI (the old version might not
have this custom action).
2. Then installs the new MSI.
> - At this point, the current product has not yet been installed, so
the Installed property is empty.
> - The condition NOT Installed evaluates to true, and
SetBundleInstallLocationData / SetBundleInstallLocation executes
normally, writing the InstallLocation registry key.

This means upgrading from an older version without this function to a
newer version with it works correctly.
However, issues appear in subsequent upgrades (from “newer” → “newer”)
because both versions include the same custom action.
The previous condition restricted the action to run only on first
install, preventing it from running during upgrades.

**Fix**

Added `OR WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED` to the condition of
SetBundleInstallLocationData / SetBundleInstallLocation custom actions,
so they also execute during upgrade scenarios, ensuring the
InstallLocation registry value is correctly updated after version
upgrades.

b1985bc8d1 Introduce shared sparse package identity for PowerToys (#42352) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request adds support for building, installing, and managing a
shared sparse MSIX package to grant package identity to select Win32
components in PowerToys. It introduces a new `PackageIdentity` project,
updates the installer to handle the new MSIX package during
install/uninstall, and provides developer documentation for working with
the sparse package. Additionally, new dependencies and signing rules are
included to support these changes.

**Sparse Package Identity Support**

* Added new `PackageIdentity` project to the solution for building the
sparse MSIX package, and included it in solution/project build
configurations (`PowerToys.sln`).

**Installer Enhancements**

* Implemented new custom actions in the installer to install and
uninstall the `PowerToysSparse.msix` package, supporting both per-user
and machine-level scenarios (`CustomAction.cpp`, `CustomAction.def`,
`Product.wxs`).

63da56fae0 Remove WiX v3 infrastructure and migrate exclusively to WiX v5 (#41975) 
## Summary:

This pull request refactors the installer build pipeline to simplify and
modernize the process, focusing exclusively on the WiX 5 (VNext)
installer and removing legacy WiX 3 support. It eliminates the use of
the `installerSuffix` parameter and related logic, removes the legacy
installer build steps and scripts, and updates documentation to reflect
the new architecture. The changes streamline the pipeline, reduce
complexity, and ensure only the latest installer is built and signed.

Pipeline and build system simplification:

* Removed the `installerSuffix` parameter and all related logic from
pipeline templates and YAML files, including file naming, build steps,
and hash calculation scripts.
* Removed legacy WiX 3 installer build steps and the associated script
`installWiX.ps1`, focusing exclusively on WiX 5 (VNext) installer
builds.

Installer signing and build process updates:

* Updated `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_installer.json` to remove signing
configuration for the legacy `PowerToysSetupCustomActions.dll`, ensuring
only the VNext DLL is signed.

Documentation updates:

* Updated `doc/devdocs/core/installer.md` to remove references to WiX 3,
clarify the installer architecture as WiX 5 only, and describe the new
build process.

## CheckList:
- [ ] Should Build successfully and produce installer for both per user
and per machine
- [ ] Should install without problem

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Known bugs:
- Default settings not saving correctly when switching modes
- Issue: Sometimes when you switch from one mode to another, they are
supposed to update with new defaults but sometimes this fails for the
second variable. Potentially has to do with accessing the settings file
while another chunk of code is still updating.
- Sometimes the system looks "glitched" when switching themes

### To do:
- [x] OOBE page and assets
- [x] Logic to disable the chart when no location has been selected
- [x] Localization

### How to and what to test
Grab the latest installer from the pipeline below for your architecture
and install PowerToys from there.
- Toggle theme shortcutSystem only, Apps only, Both system and apps
selected
- Does changing the values on the settings page update the settings
file? %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys/LightSwitch/settings.json
- Manual mode: System only, Apps only, Both system and apps selected
- Sunrise modes:  Are the times accurate?
- If you manage to let this run through sunset/rise does the theme
change?
- Set your theme to change within the next minute using manual mode and
set your device to sleepOpen your device and login once the time you set
has passed. --> Do your settings resync once the next minute ticks after
logging back into your device?
- Disable the service and ensure the tasks actually ends.
- While the module is disabled:
     - Make sure the shortcut no longer works
     - Make sure the last time you set doesn't trigger a theme change
- Bonus: Toggle GPO Configuration and make sure you are unable to enable
the module

d0a67823e1 Add additional build and sign step for SilentFilesInUseBAFunction (#41853) 
This pull request adds a new build and signing step for the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` DLL in the installer pipeline and makes a
minor project configuration update. The main goal is to ensure that this
DLL is built and signed as part of the CI process, and that its output
is preserved during subsequent build steps.

**Pipeline changes:**

* Added a new build step in
`.pipelines/v2/templates/steps-build-installer-vnext.yml` to compile the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` target from the `PowerToysSetup.sln`
solution, with appropriate MSBuild arguments and logging.
* Introduced a conditional code-signing step for the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` DLL, using the existing ESRP signing
template and policies.
* Updated the comment for the main installer build step to clarify that
it now preserves both the MSI and `SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` outputs.

**Project configuration:**

* Set the `ProjectName` property to `PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext`
in `SilentFilesInUseBAFunction.vcxproj` for clearer project
identification.

Build and packaging improvements:

* Enhanced the MSIX package selection logic in the build pipeline
(`job-build-project.yml`) to prioritize platform-specific packages
(x64/arm64) and provide clearer logging and error handling when no
packages are found.
* Modified `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.csproj` to disable Appx bundling and set
a specific test directory for Appx packages during CI builds, improving
build output organization.

These updates help ensure the project stays current with the latest SDKs
and improves reliability and transparency in the build process.

64dc8e0f27 [Installer] Upgrade the installer from WiX3 to WiX5 (#40877) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Background: The current PowerToys installer is built using Wix3, which
has now been deprecated. To improve security, service quality, and
community support, we’re upgrading the installer to Wix5.

Implementation:
Created Wix5-based projects(PowerToysSetupVext and
PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext) within the installer while retaining
the existing Wix3 project. Both versions are built to generate separate
installation packages. The Wix3-related code will be removed after
successful release testing confirms no issues.

Special case:
Wix5 has removed the property for 'ShowFilesInUse'. Now, whenever a file
is in use during installation, a FilesInUse pop-upwill automatically
appear asking for the next step. To ensure this doesn't interfere with
scenarios that require silent installation (e.g. Winget method), we’ve
handled it using the bafunction approach.
