I've followed the instructions to preserve my appID. I included a key.pem file in my zipfile. The zip successfully uploads and sets the extension ID to the expected number, but when I attempt to install it, I get a "Package is invalid. CRX_ZERO_SIGNATURE_LENGTH" error. I was surprised to see this, as I had successfully built and installed the package with the Chrome extensions page using the same key.pem. Upon inspection, my private key is quite a bit longer than one the Chrome packager generated. Here are the openssl commands I used to extract my PEM file from my PFX file.

$ openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.pfx -nocerts -out out.pem

$ openssl pkey -in out.pem -out key.pem

Has anybody run into this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
