Cannot acquire developer license when installing sideload on another computer

Open CompSciDude1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Summary

I made a custom distro for work and I had a coworker run the Install.ps1 script. He got an error that I did not get when testing the Install.ps1 script.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create the bundle on one computer
  • Transfer the bundle to another computer
  • Open Install.ps1 script
  • Accept UAC prompt
  • (The developer Settings opens up, which is odd.)
  • Error: Could not acquire a developer license. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252740.

Console Output

Before installing this app, you need to do the following:
        - Acquire a developer license
Administrator credentials are required to continue.  Please accept the UAC prompt and provide your administrator password if asked.
Press Enter to continue...:
