PublishTrimmed=true) crash on startup with the following exception:This happens because the
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariablemethod is trimmed out during the publishing process whenPublishTrimmedis set totrue.Solution

This is important for
PublishSingleFilesupport which relies on theMICROSOFT_WINDOWSAPPRUNTIME_BASE_DIRECTORYenvironment variable for SxS redirection.Changes
