In previous versions, the initial launch of the Context Menu Launcher was slow. It now starts automatically during deployment and when a user first logs in to the machine.

**Bug Fixes**

Previously, the Package ID was incorrect for `PreRun` events launched via a nested package's context menu. The Package ID is now correctly set for all events.

## IIS deploy tool
