UWP (Windows 10 APP) - appcert.exe crashes before my app get tested

I've developed an simple and small Universal Windows App that uses EF7 and SQLite. The app builds normally and it runs perfectly from Visual Studio. I also can run it directly from Windows 10 in the start menu after the I side loaded it (once the app package is generated).

My problem is that I can't test the app after it's package is generated because of an error on appcert.exe.

If I generate app package to x86 when launching windows app certification from visual studio right after the package is generated I get the error "the appxbundle could not be implanted" even before the test starts.

If I generate app package to x64 when launching windows app certification from visual studio right after the package is generated the test starts normally but before it's done I get the following error: "an unhandled microsoft .netframework exception occurred in appcertui.exe".

The appcert.exe crashes and does not tell me why.

I've searched in google and I've looked at windows log event but found nothing helpful.

I just don't know what to do. My app is finished, I can generate it´s package but I can´t generate the ".appxupload" because of this error I mentioned.

Can someone help me?

I've made a fresh install of Windows 10 and its SDK in a virtual machine on Virtual Box. The appcertui.exe is running fine and my app was tested successfully.

It might be a problem in the installation of the .NET Framework since I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

I will try to completely reinstall both .NET Framework and the SDK to solve this issue. If none of this works I will reinstall Windows 10 from scratch on my computer.

The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\binaryinfo.dll is CLSID {3866CD68-0FC3-4563-8888-E107295BC485} on my machine.

I was able to reproduce your crash by unregistering binaryinfo.dll on my machine and clicking "Validate Store App".

Maybe a fix for your issue to do register this dll (maybe all of them?).

From an administrator/elevated command prompt

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\binaryinfo.dll"

How your machine got into this state...unknown.
