Resolution

Manual Fix

You need to assess how important the shell extension is to the application so that you can determine if it matters whether the shell extension behaves as intended. You then need to do one of the following:

•

If the shell extension is unimportant, it is probably safe to deploy the package with slightly reduced functionality.

•

If the shell extension is important, this package will not function well, and it should not be deployed.
