[Solved] MSIX Core - Cannot install MSIX package on Windows 7 SP1

Hello,

 

We have packaged a WPF app with MSIX and signed using a valid certificate (GlobalSign).

It installs ok on Win10 and Win8.1 but not Win7 SP1.

The error code is 0x8bad0042. Something wrong with the certificate...

 

We then tested with the (Microsoft) VLC test package on GitHub with same error on Win7 SP1.

 

The potential bug has been submitted to GitHub : https://github.com/microsoft/msix-packaging/issues/345

No answer yet 😞

 

Any advice on how to troubleshoot this error ?

 

Really need some help,

Thanks !

    Problem solved by updating my Windows 7 VM and re-running certutil -addstore root ...
    I closed the ticket on github.

    Thanks!

    Hi thibaudcomte , I responded to your issue on GitHub. 

    I'll pasted here as well. 

    0x8bad0042 - This typically means that the certificate the app was signed with is not installed. To solve this install the certificate and retry. Did you verify that the certificate is installed to the root certificate store?
