    Description

      This occurs in the following situations:
      1. User has replaced his original certificate (.pfx) with another one, or changed his certificate inside Visual Studio. Cordova script incorrectly handles this situation so runs .ps file with ‘–force’ parameter (since we test for Developer license only).
      2. (unlikely) Publisher certificate was removed from local certificates’ store (manually or automatically).
      3. (unlikely) Some error occurred during first launch of ‘cordova run windows8’ on clean machine, so Developer license was acquired but no publisher certificate was installed.

      In all situations above 'cordova run windows8' will fail with the following error

      Before installing this app, you need to do the following:

      • Install the signing certificate
        You must provide administrator credentials to proceed. Please run this script
        ithout the -Force parameter or from an elevated PowerShell window.

      powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned ". .\\cordova\lib\WindowsStoreAppUtils
