STATUS_NO_APPLICATION_PACKAGE
Package identity is required
Windows returns STATUS_NO_APPLICATION_PACKAGE from application packaging, registration, cache, or activation handling. The caller used an API or capability that depends on package identity, but the running process is not associated with an installed application package.
Record the process package full name and family name, confirm whether the executable is packaged, sparse-packaged, or unpackaged, and verify that the API is supported for that identity model.
Do not assume every executable has package identity simply because it was installed by an MSIX-related workflow. Query the running process identity and use an unpackaged-compatible API path when package identity is optional.
