MSIX Packaging tool stuck at "fetching entry point" step
Hi,
I am creating MSIX package for Postman app, however at "fetching entry point" step the tool gets stuck and giving below error in log. Please help.

- Postman is an electron based app that uses squirrel to update, and the most likely cause of your error is that it was updating and changing files during this processing. Steps can be taken to defeat squirrel, and you can run the app to let it update, wait, and make sure it the app is fully shut down before ending monitoring mode.
That said, the most recent versions of the app seem to have issues with running in the container so I would advise finding another way to deliver that app at this time.- TIMOTHY_MANGAN
Thank you for your response!
Yes, the application was auto updating just after the installation finishes and possibly that could be the cause and also the error is somehow related to remote execution as well. I tried changing the method as "Create package on this computer" instead of "Create package on a local virtual machine" and it worked.
