Windows 10: (Windows10 1903)I can't finish Windows App Certification Kit check with my desktop application

Hi,

Recently I need to do Windows App Certification Kit check with my desktop application.


But it can not finish with below error:



"Testing cannot continue unless an application is successfully installed, including a disckoverable shortcut and an entry in add/remove programs."

After I clicked "OK",this tool exited.

My desktop application installer can create a right shortcut while installing.

Some useful info:

1.After I choose my installer and begin to check, it could be installed successfully with install wizard.

2.However,After step1, it began to uninstall.After finishing uninstall with uninstall wizard, the error dialog displayed.

I think the reason of this error is that WACK tool wanted to launch my application by shortcut, but the shortcut is deleted after uninstallation.

I don't know how to fix it.

Could anyone give me some help ?

Environment:

A:Windows 10(1903)

B:WACK:Windows 10 SDK, version 1903 (10.0.18362.1)


Thanks a lot !

:)

Audible app for windows10 pc wil not install

I had the same problem and got it solved today, as follows:

The latest Windows Update installed 3 updates. Immediately afterwards, I again tried to install the Audible App, only to find that it was now already listed as "Installed".

This suggests that on my previous tries, the App had actually fully installed, but not properly "finished" this installation.

My Windows Update contained 3 fixes: one cumulative update (KB3205386) , one Flash security update (KB3209498) and one "Windows Tool" (KB890830).

I highly suspect the cumulative update to provide the solution, as one of the fixes included is listed as:

• Addressed issue with AppLocker failing to check for certificate revocation while verifying the binary signature.

See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4004229/windows-10-update-kb3205386

This would make sense to me, if during earlier installation events only the last "verification" step failed.

Just a guess, but please feel free to try installing - or reinstalling - KB3205386. I hope this helps!

Cheers!
