@Anisa123 Would need to see more details on the command line, but I'd guess this:

 

  • Signtool does not accept a path to the file containing spaces in the folder structure.  Even if you use quotes. 

@TIMOTHY MANGAN this is the command I'm running

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\signtool.exe sign /fd SHA256 /f "C:\BuildFiles\Cert-2021.pfx" /p "xxxxx" "C:\BuildFiles\Design.msix"

Thanks

@Anisa123 The command line you provided looks correct to me, assuming the files are in place and password correct.

 

That the error suggested "file.msix" indicates that either you generalized the error return, the command line was not what was typed here, or that I have no clue as to what the issue is.

 

The feedback hub might be suggested as you can attach things to Microsoft, along with telemetry they gather, and have them take a look.

Managed to get this to work using signtools.exe from SDK 10.0.17763.0.
