Unable to install codeql pack error: (eventual cause: SunCertPathBuilderException "unable to find valid certification path to requested target")

[Ismailrizvi]

after cloning main branch I am trying to install codeql pack

D:\codeql-home\codeql>codeql pack install D:\codeql-home\Windows-Driver-Developer-Supplemental-Tools\src

returns an error as "A fatal error occurred: Could not create access credentials for codeql/cpp-queries.
(eventual cause: SunCertPathBuilderException "unable to find valid certification path to requested target")"

can someone help resolve this issue?

Hi @Ismailrizvi thank you for reaching out and I am sorry you're hitting some errors with this.
I am unfamiliar with this particular error but it looks like an SSL issue from some cursory google searches so please ensure your certificates are valid.

If the certs are valid, please verify:

1. Were you able to clone CodeQL CLI?
2. Do you have access to https://github.com/github/codeql?
3. Have you tried cloning using HTTPS method instead?

Thanks,
Laura
