Could you provide output from appc ti info -p windows -o json for more environment information?

[~jnaher] Could you help with following directions to diagnose the issue? Go to C:\ProgramData\Titanium\mobilesdk\win32\5.5.1.GA\node_modules\windowslib\lib\ and open certs.js in your text editor 1. Update LINE 102:

   	var ex = new Error(__('Failed to create certificate (code %s)', code));

   	var ex = new Error(__('102 - Failed to create certificate (code %s) %s %s', code, out, err));

2. Update LINE 226:

   	var ex = new Error(__('Failed to create certificate (code %s)', code));

   	var ex = new Error(__('226 - Failed to create certificate (code %s) %s %s', code, out, err));

3. Then try appc run -p windows -T dist-winstore -O dist again, and see what's printed. Thanks in advance!

I'm still unable to reproduce this. It looks like certification command is failing for some reason. Could you manually create certification using makecert command by following instructions? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bfsktky3(VS.100).aspx makecert will be located in following paths: * C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64 * C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64

It is the combination of makecert and pvk2pfx. I found that Microsoft provides good documentation about it. * [How to: Create Your Own Test Certificate](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff699202.aspx) * [How to create an app package signing certificate](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832(v=vs.85).aspx)

Closing this for now because this was not reproducible. Feel free to create new ticket if this is still the case.
