HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) When uploading MSIX to the Windows Store

Thu Sep 15, 2022 2:24 pm

Problem description - When uploading the MSIX file to the store, it rejects the file with the error "Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))";

How to reproduce ? Upload the file to the store, when setting up deployment.

Environment - See attached .aip.

Non-store installer works fine, it's just the store installer that we can't figure out how to upload without errors.

Any insights in how to solve this?

Hello Thales,

At a first sight, I can not say for sure why that is happening, especially because that error is thrown by Microsoft Store.

First of all, if I correctly understand this, the MSIX package builds without any errors and you can also install it?

If that's the case, please have a look over the following article which might be helpful in your case:

How to publish your MSIX package to the Microsoft Store?

If none of that helps, could you please try to upload from a different computer and see if that helps? Perhaps it's got something to do with your machine.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
