How to properly escape a comma in makeappx.exe package process?
When trying to package up a UWP application, we have our signing certificate specified in the Publisher section of the manifest. Unfortunately, our CN and Organization both have commas in the value. ...

MicrosoftI believe you can include the comma by quoting the field. So it would be 'CN="MSFT, INC", O="MSFT, INC", C=US'. To include those inner quotes in the manifest XML, you would need to escape them as " so it would ultimately look like Publisher="CN="MSFT, INC", O="MSFT, INC", C=US".
Note that the regex says you cannot use special characters, unless you quote them:
([^ ,+="<>#;]+|".*")
means that you can write something without any of those characters, or you can surround the full thing with quotes.
I had this issue. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/msix/msix-packageing-tool-signtool-certificate-issues/m-p/224217#M69 for a resolution.
