msix build cannot install

Open SierraKomodo opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

The .msix build available in releases for version 1.6.0 won't let me install, for the following reason:

This app package’s publisher certificate could not be verified. Contact your system administrator or the app developer to obtain a new app package with verified certificates. The root certificate and all immediate certificates of the signature in the app package must be verified (0x800B010A)

Hi, It will not work out of the box.

Honestly I did not think someone would use MSIX, and made the MSIX just to check if I can and if it will work.

For MSIX to work, it has to be signed by a certificate, issued by a global trusted authority, like GlobalSign or DigiCert. Such a certificate is not free and it costs much, thus I did not sign the package.

If you need, there is a way around. Developers use it when they make/test something that requires paid certificates on their machines. You can generate a self-signed certificate, sign the package with it and make your machine trust the certificate. This way the machine will consider the package trusted and will agree to run it.

Or I can sign the MSIX with own self-signed certificate and share the certificate.

A workaround for installing MSIX is implemented in v1.7.0
