Basic error message means that the certificate has expired.

Additional context You can verify that the certificate has expired by following these steps:

1. Find the .appxbundle file in your Windows explorer
2. right-click, open properties
3. Switch to tab "Digital Signatures"
4. Select signature from the list and click "Details"
5. Click "View Certificate"
6. Switch to tab "Details"

There you will see that the "valid until" date is 2019-12-11 00:59:59, which is already in the past at the time of writing.

Basic Troubleshooting Checklist

[x] I have searched Google for the error message. [x] I have checked official WSL troubleshooting documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting#confirm-wsl-is-enabled. [x] I have searched the official Microsoft WSL issues page: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues. [x] I have searched the WLinux issues page: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/WLinux/issues. [no] I have reset WLinux: Settings->Apps->Apps & features->WLinux->Advanced Options->Reset. [no] I have disabled and re-enabled WSL in Windows Features. [x] I have run Windows 10 updates and restarted.

What other troubleshooting have you attempted?

None but the above.

WLinux Version

not applicable because I could not install it.

Windows Build

Run 'systeminfo | findstr /C:"OS"' in Command Prompt and insert here:

Note: This command only returns my BIOS version which you are probably not interested in ;)

Not relevant for the issue.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting. We have had problems in renewing our certificate. I will update this issue when we had the newer and updated the package.

Regards, Carlos

[ChristianStadelmann]

Thank you for your answer!

[lukearndt]

I had the same issue, and you helped me understand what was wrong. Thank you for reporting it so clearly - you saved me a lot of time!

As a temporary workaround, you could try changing your Windows system date to before the certificate expired. Doing that allowed me to install it on my system.

I returned the date back to normal after installing, and it continues to work. The earlier date just helped it pass the certificate check for the installer package.

In the future, please consider timestamping releases (it prevents the signature from expiring when the cert expires).

[crramirez]

We generated a new package and also timestamped: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases/tag/1.31.10

[crramirez]

Thanks, I will look for it, or try to reduce the version dependency.

[crramirez]

A new release was published lowering the requirements

[alexdyukov]

@crramirez as i can see the requirements lowered, but i am getting error with "developer licence required" which i cannot parse because of low windows experience. Looks like package OK now and its all about my own problem

[BadNetCode]

@AlexDyukov I'm having the same problem. Did you resolve it?

[crramirez]

[alexdyukov]

@BadNetCode sorry, backlogged my task for Fedora in WSL. I has low windows experience to debug it. Ubuntu 18.04 / 16.04 from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual works well

@crramirez security policy does not allow it (enterprise environment):

[crramirez]

Click on Sideload apps

[alexdyukov]

@crramirez agree, thats works fine now. Asked my co-workers to reproduce install, so we can close issue with this solution

[alexdyukov]

Okey, we had reproduce install on several mashines. Its works good. At least it requires install UWP: 1) download UWP package from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53175 2) then install it through executing "exe" file 2) then install it like appx package:

Add-AppPackage "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\10\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop\14.0\Appx\Retail\x64\M
icrosoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx"

Dunno hows third step affects UWP, but it doesnt work with out it.

@BadNetCode any success?

[ChristianStadelmann]

Thank you for fixing this issue!
