It also includes a fix for local versus tradition style redirection that was affecting AppData\Roaming for some apps.

COM

Consolidated COM Clsid Analysis to improve coverage while eliminating false positives that occur, especially when the packaging machine starts taking updates mid-package.

Also added a new COM subtab on the Pitons display, to clearly show the Com CLSID, Interface, and Typelib analysis of what is in the manifest, what is fixable, and what is not.

We now also force a re-analysis of the package after applying COM fixes for Shell Extensions.

Added detection and fixins of Managed Com Servers and shell extensions that are not registered in the manifest.

Modern App Detection

Added detection and warning of apps needing the .Net Desktop Runtime 5.0.10 or later.
