Publish Failed to sign msix - visual-studio-2019

Using Visual Studio 2019 to publish an update to an existing windows store application. This worked a week ago.
Our solution builds without error. When I go to create the setup package I get an error "Failed to sign 'D:\dev\MeyerMusic\MeyerTablet\TabletDistribution\bin\AnyCPU\Release\MeyerMusicTabletSetup_2.6.6.0_AnyCPU.msix'."
We are distributing the application as a Microsoft Store app under the existing app name.
Last week on this same development computer I built version 2.6.5 as well as many packages before that.
The error number is blank or missing. I do not have a reason for the failure. I only see one fact in the error message and that points to line 4574 in the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\AppxPackage\Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets
That line is this:
<SignAppxPackage Condition="'$(AppxPackageSigningEnabled)' == 'true'"
AppxPackageToSign="$(AppxMainPackageOutput)"
CertificateThumbprint="$(PackageCertificateThumbprint)"
CertificateFile="$(PackageCertificateKeyFile)"
CertificatePassword="$(PackageCertificatePassword)"
HashAlgorithmId="$(AppxHashAlgorithmId)"
EnableSigningChecks="$(EnableSigningChecks)"
SignAppxPackageExeFullPath="$(SignAppxPackageExeFullPath)"
TempCertificateFilePath="$(TempCertificateFilePath)"
VsTelemetrySession="$(VsTelemetrySession)"
SigningTimestampServerUrl="$(AppxPackageSigningTimestampServerUrl)"
SigningTimestampDigestAlgorithm="$(AppxPackageSigningTimestampDigestAlgorithm)"
/>
Troubleshooting steps:
Attempted to build a side load package. Results in same error
Successfully built a side load package that was not signed
I have restarted Visual Studio
I have rebooted the machine
I have deleted OBJ, BIN for the entire solution
I have looked for errors in the event log but none have been found so far.

After uninstalling KB4535996 the problem was resolved.
I found this via a tip from the following post: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/934967/uwp-error-failed-to-sign.html

VS 2019 Publish issue - Unable to load the service index for source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

I am having an issue when I try to publish a specific solution.
Related into:
I have been able to publish/deploy about 6 solutions with no issues.
The solution that is giving me issues when I try to Publish runs 100% on my local VS 2019, the issue is publishing
This is my first solution I created from new on VS 2019. All others were created on VS 2017
I can run in browser - https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
I did try to Run a NuGet package restore
I did try to implement different solutions I found while researching
If you google search for the error of “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel” you will see a lot of articles. I tried the solutions detailed with obviously no luck.

Fixed it in Windows 7 by doing these steps, outlined in Support Article:
Step 1
Add a DWORD registry entry called DefaultSecureProtocols with a value of 0x00000a00 to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\WinHttp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\WinHttp
Note: Second one (in Wow6432Node) is needed only on 64-bit Windows.
Step 2
Created sub keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client
In each of them add a DWORD entry called DisabledByDefault with a value of 0.
Note: You may need to create the TLS 1.x key and also the Client key.
After getting my Window 10 laptop operational with VS 2019 I am able to publish my solution.
This is no longer an issue.
I had the same problem. The OS is windows 7 profession service pack 1. When I published the ASP NET CORE project on IIS, the problem happened.
I solved it with the following steps.
First, I searched the https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json on browser, it worked.
Second, I followed the solution from user11693, and I solved it.

Rad Studio 10.2.3: Driver/Connection Registry File dbxconnections.ini not found

I am facing problems to use Delphi with MySQL ... I have been trying for weeks to solve the error but without success
i Am using AppServ : Apache + PHP + MYSQL 5.7.17
Someone please help me
On click ConnectionName Properties:
Error: Driver/Connection Registry File 'C:\Users\ROG3R\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\dbExpress\19.0\dbxconnections.ini' not found.
There is no dbExpress folder in the directory
C:\Users\ROG3R\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio
Have you tried full installation on all users?
yes but problem continues
When you select true connect property:
DBX Error: Driver could not be properly initialized. Client library may be missing, not installed properly, of the wrong version, or the driver may be missing from the system path..
https://imgur.com/a/10bBIMr
This error shows up, when you have installed Delphi only for your own user.
Uninstall it, but don't delete the registry keys at the end of the uninstall process or you will loose all your settings and you would have to reinstall 3rd party componets.
After that reinstall Delphi, but this time for all users!

sqlpackage.exe - how do I exclude synonyms>

I'm running sqlpackage.exe as park of an automated deployment script creation process, however we have synonyms in the database, which are different depending on the environment (Dev/Test/Live). The problem is that the database project has the synonyms as they are in the Dev environment, but when I run sqlpackage to compare against Test or Live, the synonyms are different and so they get scripted to be dropped and re-added to point to Dev.
I've seen on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2015/02/23/new-advanced-publish-options-to-specify-object-types-to-exclude-or-not-drop.aspx that apparently there's a new parameter "ExcludeObjectType", but when I try running it using that parameter it gives me an error 'ExcludeObjectType' is not a valid argument for the 'Script' action (and I have the latest version of sqlpackage.exe).
Any ideas on what I can do here?
After downloading the latest SSDT for Visual Studio I still had the same issue. Next I downloaded Data-Tier Application Framework (May 2015) and used the new SqlPackage installed at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DAC\bin\sqlpackage.exe and the error went away and worked as expected.
Thank you sir! When I created the deployment script in VS, no change detected but when I tried to deploy using sqlpackage I got the error:
* The object [x] already exists in database with a different definition and will not be altered.
After adding the ExcludeObjectTypes switch I got the following error:
* 'ExcludeObjectTypes' is not a valid argument for the 'Publish' action.
But after downloading and installing latest Data-Tier App framework all works as expected with no errors.

azure developement fabric dll hell

Hello I am trying to package and start up azure developement fabric on a windows 2008 server, I am so close yet still far. The steps I take are
1) run cspack.exe command /copyOnly to generate the .csx folder
2) run csrun.exe commmand /LaunchBrowser to start up the developement fabric and startup the browser
the error is as follows
System.BadImageFormatException: Could

this error happens with 2 dlls Interop.SSCE.DLL and SqlLite.dll Ive replaced all references to SqLite dll with a 64bit version and I dont have any references anymore to Interop.SSCE.DLL since I am not using it. Manually deleting these assemblies from the location
"C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio
2010\Projects\MyAzureProject\src\AzureCloudService\ServiceDefinition.csx\roles\MyAzureProject.Web\approot\bin"
solves the issue, but I dont obviously want to manually delete these everytime as I trying to automate a build process. My question is then how is the .csx folder actually generated and will this give me clues as to where these dll's are bring copied from? This is really frustrating as with the exception of those dll errors, I =m able to package the solution and startup the developement fabric with no other problems. Please Help!!
I realize this is old, but I just ran across it while trying to solve the same problem. In my case, the issue was that some of my projects were set to build x86 assemblies, instead of Any CPU. The solution was:
Go to Build -> Configuration Manager
Make sure "Active solution platform" is set to "Any CPU"
Make sure each of the projects also has the "Platform" set to "Any CPU"
Rebuild
Go to:
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Web Projects
Check the Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects.
This will ensure that your web project runs in x64 mode and will thus be able to use Service Fabric files.
Hope it helps...

A very weird problem with localization (ASP.NET MVC)

I'm using Web Developer 2010. I just created a resource file lang.resx with different values in english. Then I created a lang.FR-fr.resx with French equivalents. However after tryingto compile, I get
Error 131 Task could not find "AL.exe" using the SdkToolsPath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\" or the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A". Make sure the SdkToolsPath is set and the tool exists in the correct processor specific location under the SdkToolsPath and that the Microsoft Windows SDK is installed
This is so weird! If I remove FR-fr part, it will work, but there will be no translation of course.
I went to that directory and found out that I don't have al.exe there. I managed to find it in .NET 2 folder, but after copying it didn't help. It throws an exception. I tried to reinstall .NET 4, to install Windows SDK, and it still doesn't work.
Maybe I can somehow get this al.exe file?
I solved it by restarting the machine :)
