Do you want to install the certificate: "signingCert.pfx" ? (y/N) 
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

However, as described inside the doc,

Note: By default, the MSIX package will install the certificate on your machine.

It should be fixed to not prompt such message for confirmations.

I had the same problem, but I solved it by skipping the certificate installation via msix.
I simply called msix:create with --install-certificate false

run dart run msix:create -c "signingCert.pfx" -p *** --install-certificate false

You don't need to install certificate to sign the installer.

@pisolofin you are right. But it should provide an option to skip

[pisolofin]

For me the problem was that I ran the command on the Azure pipeline machine and I can't confirm the certificate installation.
If I ran it on my PC but without the certificate installed, msix asks me for confirmation to install the certificate.
The solution was skip certificate installation.

Same here. As I said previously, it does not provide an option as expected, so it should be a bug.
