LNK4291 Warning when compiling w/ Native AOT and Statically Linked DLL

[Sella-GH]

Hello,

since the newest version of WmiLight there seems to be some kind of warning when compiling it in an App with Native AOT enabled and the property PublishWmiLightStaticallyLinked set to true.

I get the following Warning when doing dotnet publish to release:
WmiLight.Native.lib(WmiLightNative.obj) : warning LNK4291: module may contain '__except' (Structured Exception Handling) but was not compiled with /guard:ehcont; generating conservative metadata.

The warning didn't appear in version 6.14.0 AFAIK (could be wrong tho). I assume it could be some kind of Visual C++ 26 issue because of the new VS (which is required for full .NET 10 development). It also could be triggered due to the fact that I have set the property ControlFlowGuard to Guard, which seems more possible for me.

Used tech stack:

• Visual Studio 2026 Insiders (11201.2)
• .NET 10 RC 2
• Windows App SDK 1.8.251003001

Could you may have a look into that? Thanks! 🙂

@Sella-GH Please give Version 6.16.0 a try and let me know your feedback. It includes a static library with the required EH continuation metadata.

@MartinKuschnik I can confirm that this fixed the issue. Thank you very much for the fast response!
