Cannot install appx through graphic installer


I'm facing a problem right now and I don't really know how to get more informations about it.

I've converted a desktop application through Microsoft's Desktop App Converter, made some manual modifications about the visual assets, and rebundled it through "makeappx.exe". Then I signed it.

Everything went fine. Except that when I double click the appx to check it, I have the following window:

Appx Error

Which roughly translates as "Couldn't open the appx or appxbundle file" and "Reason: Failure caused by an unknown reason".

This does not helps me a lot :/

However, if I try to install the package through a simple "Add-appxpackage MyPackage.appx", it works perfectly fine.

Could anyone help me find some leads on what's happening here? I've already checked the event viewer as explained here but I couldn't find anything unusual.

Thanks,

Skefrep
