MECM MSIX Application Creation Error

Apologies if this needs to go into the MECM forum.

 

I receive the following error message when trying to import an MSIX into MECM: 'Error: Part URI is not valid per rules defined in the Open Packaging Conventions specification'. The MSIX is for Adobe InDesign 2026. I have successfully created MSIX packages for other Adobe Creative Suite products and imported them into MECM. I have been through the manifest for the InDesign MSIX I created, the file system, the metadata (such as package name) and can see nothing that would trip it up. I have also looked for any path lengths over 255 and found none. The only thing I found which I think may be a problem is in the content_types.xml - a tilda in the application extension entry:

 

<Default Extension="xml~" ContentType="application/octet-stream" />

 

As usual, there is not much online. I have skimmed through the OPC specification, but can see nothing about limitations. Have anyone else come across this problem?
