126-257: Redact personal/machine info in generated code examples
Replace embedded “Computer Name” and “User Name” with placeholders (e.g., MACHINE_NAME, USER_NAME), standardize timestamps to ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-04-29T23:49:45Z), and add a note that these fields are optional or configurable in the generator.
260-370: Redact PII in VB code sample and document metadata toggle
- Replace the concrete timestamp, computer name and user name in the VB snippet (README.md lines 283–288) with placeholders (e.g.
<TIMESTAMP>,<COMPUTER_NAME>,<USER_NAME>).- Add a note stating whether these auto-generated metadata comments can be disabled (no flag currently exists; consider exposing one).

16-25: Add VS2015 install path variant.For Visual Studio 2015 the menu is Tools > Extensions and Updates, not Extensions > Manage Extensions. Add a note for VS2015 to avoid confusion.
69-80: Clarify WinUI 3 and .NET version support.
- WinUI 3 (WinAppSDK) typically targets .NET 6+; consider updating “.NET 5+” to “.NET 6+” unless you’ve verified .NET 5.
- If WinUI 3 is supported, call out that the generator uses the WinAppSDK resource APIs for WinUI 3 projects (different from UWP/WinUI 2).
I suggest amending bullets to specify the API differences or add a short note.
81-92: API callout likely UWP/WinUI 2 only; add WinUI 3 variant.“The generated code uses Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.ResourceLoader…” is accurate for UWP/WinUI 2. For WinUI 3, the common approach is Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources (ResourceManager). Add a sentence noting the WinUI 3 path and that the tool generates the appropriate API per project type, or scope support accordingly.
371-392: Correct default .resw location guidance for UWP/WinUI.“Usually Properties/Resources.resw” is more typical in classic .NET. UWP/WinUI commonly uses Strings//Resources.resw (e.g., Strings/en-US/Resources.resw). Update to reflect both patterns.
409-414: Links section LGTM. Optionally add a link to release notes/changelog.
