When i try to install an addon or a texture pack on minecraft for windows, the game doesn’t install the mcpack or mcaddon.
How to reproduce
Download an external addon or texture pack
Open the latest version of Minecraft for Windows (on Windows 10)
Double clic on the downloaded pack (mcaddon or mcpack) to open it
Expected result
The game should begin installing the add-on or texture pack correctly, and then allow the user use the add-on or thexture pack int the world of their choice.
Actual result
While minecraft is running and the user double clicked the file to import to minecraft (mcaddon or mcpack), it opens an unnamed window and it closes instantly. The game doesn't start the mcaddon or mcpack import process, this process only works with mcworld files, i don’t know if the import process works with mctemplate or mcproject.
