Signing Certificate Expired

Open Saberpeep opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

I can't get this to install. I have set my execution policy to allow the ps1 script to run. The ps1 install script fails with the following error:

Add-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF0, Package could not be opened.

Common::Deployment::MsixvcStagingSession::GetManifestReader in MsixvcStagingSession failed with error 0x80070570.

I have also tried manually installing the cert as outlined in the install script, and I can see it installed correctly in certlm, and tried running the msix manually but it still complains about the certificate. Are you sure you have included a valid cert with the release?

Running unmodified Win 11 Home 23H2

Oh lol yeah the issue is super obvious, the cert literally says it expired 1st January 2024 right on it. Updating the issue title to match...

Oh huh well it let me install anyways if I just pass the -AllowUnsigned flag to Add-AppPackage. Not sure of the security implications of that, but I suppose I am installing a mysterious app from github in the first place.

Add-AppPackage .\XSOverlayNotifier.msix -AllowUnsigned

Add-AppPackage .\XSOverlayNotifier.msix -AllowUnsigned

wait there was an AllowUnsigned flag this entire time?? I can't believe I missed that... if that's the case then I can get rid of the certificate process completely, thanks for mentioning this

Yeah I'm not really familiar with all this, I've only had to deal with these msix packages before when trying to install K2VR Amethyst dev builds. I just googled "install msix without certificate" and I came across this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/package/unsigned-package which shows the -AllowUnsigned argument.

Gotta love how you need to be a programmer to install an app, even though this isn't even Linux...

Well, I'm not a programmer.

PS C:\Users\krzes\Downloads> Add-AppPackage .\XSOverlayNotifier.msix -AllowUnsigned
Add-AppxPackage : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'AllowUnsigned'.

Uhh so upon further research it seems the allowUnsigned parameter was added in Windows 11 😅

I can confirm this works on Windows 11. Not sure about Windows 10 though.
