+# Multi-headed MSIX package sample
+
+These samples demonstrate how to create **multi-headed packages** — MSIX or sparse packages that contain multiple `<Application>` elements in a single `Package.appxmanifest`. Each application entry gets its own Start menu tile and can be launched independently, while sharing the same package identity and installation lifecycle.
+
+## Samples
+
+### MSIX sample (`cs/cs-winui-msix/`)
+
+A WinUI 3 solution using single-project MSIX packaging with two projects:
+
+- **PrimaryApp** — The main WinUI app that owns the package manifest. Uses `$targetnametoken$` tokens so the build system fills in the correct executable name.
+- **SecondaryApp** — A secondary WinUI app referenced by PrimaryApp. Its executable name is hardcoded in the manifest as `SecondaryApp.exe` with `EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication"`.
+
+After deployment, both apps appear in the Start menu as separate entries.
+
+### Sparse sample (`cs/cs-wpf-sparse/`)
+
+A WPF solution demonstrating multi-headed sparse packages with runtime registration:
+
+- **PrimaryApp** — A WPF app with `WindowsPackageType=Sparse` that includes Register/Unregister/Restart buttons to manage the sparse package at runtime.
+- **SecondaryApp** — A minimal WPF app that detects whether it has package identity (which it will once the sparse package is registered).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* See [System requirements for Windows app development](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/system-requirements).
+* Make sure that your development environment is set up correctly&mdash;see [Install tools for developing apps for Windows 10 and Windows 11](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/set-up-your-development-environment).
+
+## Building and running
+
+### MSIX sample
+
+1. Open `cs/cs-winui-msix/MultiHeadedMsix.sln` in Visual Studio.
+2. Set **PrimaryApp** as the startup project.
+3. Press **F5** to build, deploy, and launch the primary app.
+4. Check the Start menu for both "Primary App" and "Secondary App" entries.
+
+### Sparse sample
+
+1. Open `cs/cs-wpf-sparse/MultiHeadedSparse.sln` in Visual Studio.
+2. Set **PrimaryApp** as the startup project.
+3. Press **Ctrl+F5** to run without debugging.
+4. Click **Register Package** to register the sparse package.
+5. Click **Restart** to relaunch with package identity.
+6. Run **SecondaryApp** separately to verify it also detects the package identity.
