Create exe for .NET MAUI windows

Question

I am developing a windows application in .NET MAUI using Visual Studios 2022. I need to test it on another machine so I publish the app and create MSIX file. But when I install the certificate there, it is installed successfully but on executing the installer it fails due to certificate issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

PS: I am creating the certificate myself with the help of VS 2022 configuration wizard which shows up after we click on "Publish".

Answer 1

Hello,

I doubled clicked and installed the certificate. But still when I execute the installer it says certificate not founf.

Please clicked the certificate in the MSIX installer file folder, then choose "Install certificate..." selection.

Then choose "Local machine", click the Next

After that, change the selection to the Place all certificates in the following store, click the browse, select Trusted Root Certification Authorities, click OK.

In the end, install this certificate successfully, you can click the msix file to install your program.

Best Regards,

If it’s a self signed certificate, then each computer that uses the app must install and trust the certificate.
