Aspire 13.5.2 removes an unused Windows CLI binary blocking WinGet publication

Summary

Aspire 13.5.2 removes the unused hex1bpty.exe from Windows CLI archives because Aspire never executes it. The patch lets the release pass WinGet’s executable and malware validation while leaving Unix native assets unchanged.

Why it matters

Unnecessary executables can trigger marketplace security checks and delay distribution of otherwise valid developer tooling.
