Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

[WPSL]Windows App Certification Kit Test Fails, binary is built in debug mode

Hi,
Windows phone 8.1 App fails Windows App Certification Kit test (WACK Test).
It is producing below error in Debug configuration test,
The debug configuration test detected the following errors:
1)The binary Phone.Controls.dll is built in debug mode.
Impact if not fixed: Windows Phone Store doesn’t allow a debug version of an app.
How to fix: Please make sure the app isn't linking to any debug versions of a framework and it is built with the release configuration
And i got a solution like,
Universal Apps (And Silverlight 8.1 Apps) have a different certification requirement. You cannot publish assemblies built in debug mode.
You'll need to contact the NuGet authors of ICSharpCode and ImageTools and have them provide you with a version built in release mode.
How to proceed with this solution. I'm very help full if any solution provided.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit.

Hi Franklin,
Thanks for your replay. I created my package in 'Release' mode only.
Actually my project in windows phone 7.1 and i upgraded it to windows phone 8.1. In "Release" mode i created my build, but i'm having this error in WACK(Windows
App Certification Kit) test.
I'm able to run my App in windows phone 8.1, but if i submit it to store then will be rejected definitely.
The debug configuration test detected the following errors:
1)The binary Phone.Controls.dll is built in debug mode.
The WACK test fails in debug configuration test, for "Phone.Controls.dll "
it is built in debug mode.
There should be a solution like, how to convert .dll to release mode.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
Ranjit.
Hi ranjit,
>>Actually my project in windows phone 7.1 and i upgraded it to windows phone 8.1
Okay, this may be due to the upgrading process, could you tell us what the detailed version of your Visual Studio is(for example: Visual Studio 2013 Update 4)?
You may need to create a new Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight project and try to upload it to Store, if this problem can be resolved, I think this should be related to the upgrading process, you may need to start from scratch by recreating a WP8.1 SL project.
To exclude environment facts, I would also suggest you retesting it on a new machine with the latest IDE.

Uninstall missing for adobe 9...not on add/remove programs

I have 2 adobe readers now. The desktop has adobe 9 and adobe x (inside says 10.1.1). Downloaded newest a while ago. I think I thought it would automatically uninstall 9, but I may have uninstalled it but is still there, because there isnot a line in add/remove list. There is a line for the reader x (10.1.1)

Is it really still installed, or is it just a non-functioning desktop shortcut?
If it is still installed (without an uninstaller), then you can use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the application.

Inconsistent results with Windows App Certification Kit

Hi, I asked about this issue before on a different forum but didn't get a response. Support pointed me towards this forum so I'm asking here as maybe the other forum wasn't the appropriate one. My company is attempting to renew our ms partnership, and we are
trying to certify our desktop
app for windows 8. I have attached a screen shot below showing the registry entries that our app makes. When we try to test for certification (windows 8) we get the different (but similar) results on different systems using the exact same installation package.
Here is an example of the results we get:
Results:
An optional value 'VersionMajor' is missing or invalid      for program Chiro8000.
An optional value 'VersionMinor' is missing or invalid      for program Chiro8000.
An optional value 'MajorVersion' is missing or invalid      for program Chiro8000.
An optional value 'MinorVersion' is missing or invalid      for program Chiro8000.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or      invalid for program Chiro8000.
A non-optional value 'Publisher' is missing or invalid      for program Chiro8000.
A non-optional value 'ProductVersion' is missing or      invalid for program Chiro8000.
An optional value 'InstallLocation' is missing or      invalid for program Chiro8000.
Can anyone point us in the right direction?

How did you publish this package? Here are some similar questions, maybe caused by installer:

Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 error occurred while generating the report (the application will exit)

Hi all,
I've encounter a pretty big issue while trying to check if everything with my windows phone 8.1 app is all right. After creating package (*.appx) I launched Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 to run it against all the test. Each time I try I get an error saying
"an error occurred while generating the report. the application will exit" and Certification tool just crushes
I looked online for some solutions but couldn't find any. Somebody knows what is going on and how to fix it ?
Can't insert images into post because of not verified account so imgur:

Try sending it to store anyway… I have the similar issue, the kit hangs when saving result and never complete it.

If you want to test your app, you can also send to beta store and you can get response from the testers.

Could you explain more why the graphical mapping has better performance? I thought the graphical mapping is compiled into a Java class in the runtime anyway.
> Yes thats there, but same goes with Java mapping too
> right (if you haven't mentioned it as constants)
I mainly think about inheritance. If I have to build 10 interfaces and they all have some common behavior, I can create a base interface class to encapsulate the common logic. But with graphical mapping, you have to duplicate them in each interface.
> Disadvantages of Java mapping:
> 1. Performance
Same as above. I just don't see why Java has worse performance. I actually think Java should have better performance. You can optimize the code anyway you want. In some cases, you have to use queue functions in graphical mapping but it's not necessary in Java.
> 2. All might not be well versed with Java Code(though

I am not asking everyone to abandon graphical mapping. I am just wondering which one is better when you have skills for both.

You can create functions in Java too. All you have to do is to remember the function name.

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
please throw some insight

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does this happens for this particular application?
For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App.
Does this happens for all user or specific users?
Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.
Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature is available for Windows

Hope it helps!

ITunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system. Now my phone is not recognized. I tried installing manually. I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs. Still get errors.

Attempted update to iTunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system. Now my phone is not recognized. I tried installing manually. I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs. Still get errors.

Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!.

I downloaded a new APP to my iPhone it appears on my screen but can't get it to appear on my wife's iPhone screen. Her screens were initially full of Apps, I later made room for the new APP but can't get it to appear even after making room for the new APp. It can be opened, but I want the APP to be on her iPhone screen as well as on mine. Help, please.

Is the app downloaded on her phone also?

Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

Custom icon in Windows Add/Remove Programs list

Hi all,
I am developing a software with Labview 2011/2012.
When I am creating an installer for my application I am configuring icon section and I can see my icon in windows All programs section.
And I want to see this icon also in windows Control Panel/Programs and Features section. In the list of installed applications my application is without an icon I have specified.
Anybody faced with this issue? Have any idea how to figure out this?
I have also found some thread about this, but I am wondering if some new experience available since this post.
https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Generic-icon-in-Add-Remove-Programs-list/td-p/1241508
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I can't seem to come up with any other way.
But for the product ID try these steps.
To determine the value of ProductID:
Open the setup.ini file that was created with the installer.
Near the bottom, in the install.msi section, there is a key called ProductId.
The value of ProductId should be substituted in the registry key chain listed above.
