APPX_E_INVALID_PACKAGESIGNCONFIG

APPX_E_INVALID_PACKAGESIGNCONFIG means that the package signing configuration file does not contain valid data for the requested signing operation. It occurs before a package can receive a trustworthy deployment signature.

What to inspect

  • Validate the signing configuration schema, certificate references, and paths used by the packaging workflow.
  • Confirm that the configuration belongs to the package type and signing tool version in use.
  • Regenerate the package and signature after correcting configuration rather than reusing a partially signed artifact.

Keep the signing log with the package build output because it identifies configuration fields that may not appear in the top-level HRESULT.
