Research direction

Start in the XboxGamePackageManager flow that builds the package preview after a Game Path is selected, then trace how MicrosoftGame.config is read. Reproduce the issue by changing the config after selection; done means the preview re-evaluates and reflects added executables or target device families without reselecting the path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Once you select a Game Path, if you then modify the game config later (e.g. add an executable or a target device family), the preview doesn't update. We should consider adding a file watcher on the MicrosoftGame.config and re-evaluate the package for purposes the preview when the file is modified.
