If you have questions about convert EXE file to MSIX file, you could ask in the MSIX forum here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/msix/bd-p/MSIX-Discussions

2022-08-04T01:50:38.177+00:00 my question is about publishing apps to store. the CR is about that. when i was publishing app to store i get errors. i didnt ask about converting exe to msix. i need a CR to publish app. when i was creating my CR, it mentioned timestamp and i need a timestamp url to prevent app from expiring in store. i need CR for converting my EXE to MSIX to get app in store. I wouldnt have bought the partner account if i need that i need so many steps just to get app in store. i waste my money and now i cant get help. do you work for them?

2022-08-04T06:51:51.127+00:00 The MSIX document- Signing preference mentioned that the timestamp URL is recommended to make sure the validity of your certificate can outlast its expiration date. It also mentioned that The accepted format is an RFC 3161 time stamp server URL. It's a question about the certificate signing.
Also, the store now supports publishing normal desktop apps like EXE and MSI. You could checked this document - Submit your MSI or EXE app to the Microsoft Store. You could try to publish your app as EXE now.
