I recently submitted an application which failed validation which I believe was due to the lack of a launch option in the AppUp Center. However this was intentional on my part. My application always runs on the startup of the laptop so it does not require any manual action by the user. So I am wondering what options I have in order to pass validation? Would any of the following be allowed when the user launches the app from the store?

This may seem like a no brainer, but with the recent change in validation on how MSI Installation it may get you too. I have to admit that this one got me. I received one of the emails today with the following subject: "Urgent: Please read-Changes to your Atom application are requested" Let's say you have App.exe and RequiredLibrary.dll. When the shortcut to App.exe has a startup path that contains the two files all works well. Now what happens if the startup path changes in your link? Your App.exe will be executed, then fail because it has no idea where to find RequiredLibrary.dll.
