How to resolve Windows App Certification Kit System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException

Windows App Certification Kit was crashing when running in GUI mode. Running it from the command line I am getting this error:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException

Description says:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\windowsapps\99999xxxxnk.appname_1.1.1.0_x64__bc4a78aaf2m13\AppXManifest.xml'.

This location does exist (although it is a bit hard to reach, you have to change folder ownership to see the contents), except for the four x's in my username (before ".appname"). This is from the actual error message.

Looks like something is masking the username and thus producing invalid file path (can anyone from MS help here?)

Windows App Certification Kit version is 10.0.17134.12

Make sure you have the latest version of Visual Studio, it seems it helps in some cases. However, this is a reported issue on the Visual Studio Feedback so the best approach is to vote no this issue and report you are having the problem as well so that it gets attention of the team sooner.
