I thought adding CI would be a nice addition so that you confidently merge changes in the future while being sure that they work both on x64 and arm64. Feel free to leave this out if you rather not have CI pipelines (they take quite a while, especially when there's no cache yet). Here's a successful run in my fork: https://github.com/dennisameling/PresentMon/actions/runs/29485626232


# Build (Release) and run the unit tests on both supported native architectures:
# - x64 on windows-2022 (Visual Studio 2022, WiX Toolset 3.14)
# - ARM64 on windows-11-arm (Visual Studio 2022, no WiX)
#
# windows-2022 ships WiX 3.14, so the x64 leg builds the full solution including
# the MSI installer and uploads it as an artifact. windows-11-arm has no WiX, so
# the ARM64 leg builds the app / service / API / unit tests directly (the WiX
# installer projects are skipped there).
#
# (windows-2025 was switched to VS 2026 by GitHub — actions/runner-images#14017 —
# so we stay on windows-2022 for the VS 2022 toolchain for now.)
#
# Caching (biggest time sinks first):
# - vcpkg_installed dependency trees -> keyed on the manifests + triplets; a hit skips
# the vcpkg install wholesale (robust vs the arm64 binary-cache ABI churn) and also
# lets the build run in parallel (see the Build step's /m note)
# - vcpkg source downloads -> $VCPKG_DOWNLOADS (only used on a miss)
# - staged CEF payload -> IntelPresentMon/AppCef/Cef (keyed on the CEF
# lock; a hit skips the ~156 MB download + libcef_dll_wrapper compile)
# - aux test data -> Tests/AuxData
# - npm download cache -> via actions/setup-node
# The "Report cache status" step prints each cache-hit so we can confirm reuse.

# Trigger once per change: on pull_request for PR branches (this branch has an open
# PR) and on push only for main, so an open PR doesn't run twice per push.

## Building for ARM64 (Windows on Arm)

PresentMon builds natively for ARM64 in addition to x64. The ARM64 build runs
natively on Windows-on-Arm devices (e.g. Snapdragon).

### Toolset

All projects pin the **v143** platform toolset. Visual Studio 2022 ships v143 by
default and needs nothing extra. Visual Studio 2026 on ARM64 ships only the newer
v145 toolset, so install the v143 build tools alongside it from the Visual Studio
Installer (*Individual components*):

- *MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ ARM64/ARM64EC build tools* **and** *... x64/x86 build tools*
- *C++ ATL for v143 build tools* for both *ARM64/ARM64EC* and *x64/x86* (required by ETLTrimmer)

I think #634 would make it easier moving forward to switch between MSVC / Visual Studio versions without having to update a lot of build files across the board.


The vcpkg dependencies are pinned to v143 as well, via the overlay triplets in
`triplets/` (`arm64-`, `x64-`, and `x86-windows-static.cmake`). This keeps the
vcpkg dependency ABI matched to the app toolset on VS 2026; it is a no-op on
VS 2022, where v143 is already the default. Changing a triplet's toolset causes
vcpkg to rebuild that architecture's dependencies on the next build.

vcpkg *host* dependencies resolve to the build machine's native architecture
(`vcpkg.props`): `arm64-windows-static` on a Windows-on-Arm host, otherwise
`x64-windows-static`. An x64 host can therefore still cross-compile the ARM64
target, while an ARM64 host uses native rather than emulated host tools.

### Source dependencies

Restore the ARM64 CEF payload (the auxiliary test data and web frontend that
`bootstrap.ps1` also restores are architecture-neutral):

```powershell
> .\bootstrap.ps1 -Platform arm64
```

The staged `IntelPresentMon\AppCef\Cef` directory holds a single architecture at
a time (the last one pulled). Re-run `IntelPresentMon\AppCef\Batch\pull-cef.ps1 -Platform <x64|arm64>`
when switching architectures on the same checkout.

### Building

```bat
> msbuild /p:Platform=ARM64,Configuration=Release PresentMon.sln
```

On an ARM64 host, use the native MSBuild at
`...\MSBuild\Current\Bin\arm64\MSBuild.exe`.

### Packaging

A `Release|ARM64` solution build produces an ARM64-targeted MSI
(`build\Release\en-us\PresentMon.msi`) that installs the native ARM64 service,
API, and Capture application.

Because the build output directory (`build\<Configuration>`) is
architecture-neutral, a single checkout holds one architecture's binaries and
MSI at a time. Produce the x64 and ARM64 packages from separate (or cleaned)
builds.

## Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) builds Release and runs the unit
tests on both native architectures, on every pull request and on pushes to
`main`:

| Runner | Toolchain | Build |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `windows-2022` | VS 2022 + WiX 3.14 | Full `PresentMon.sln` (x64) and **packages the MSI**, uploaded as the `PresentMon-x64-msi` artifact |
| `windows-11-arm` | VS 2022 (no WiX) | App, service, API and unit tests (the WiX installer projects are skipped) |

WiX v3 is no longer supported. More recent versions have better ARM64 support. Happy to file a follow-up PR to upgrade to the latest version if that's OK for you. https://www.firegiant.com/blog/2025/2/6/wix-v3-and-wix-v4-are-no-longer-in-community-support/


Each run bootstraps the source dependencies (CEF payload, aux test data, web
frontend), creates a throwaway code-signing certificate so the Release
`SignTool` post-build succeeds, builds, and runs the unit tests. (One known
ARM64-only metrics test is skipped on the ARM64 leg pending a fix.)

Dependencies are cached to keep runs fast — the installed vcpkg trees
(`vcpkg_installed`), the staged CEF payload, the auxiliary test data, and the
npm download cache — so a warm run reuses them instead of rebuilding. With a
warm cache the build also runs in parallel (`msbuild /m`); a cold run (when the
vcpkg manifests change) falls back to a serial build to avoid a concurrent
vcpkg-install download race.

`windows-2025` is intentionally not used: GitHub switched that image to
Visual Studio 2026 ([actions/runner-images#14017](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017)),
and the project currently targets the VS 2022 (v143) toolchain.
