问题 I decided to have another crack at converting my tool (https://github.com/mikecann/Windows7-Taskbar-Monitor) to a windows store app using the Desktop App Converter. Things I did this time: 1) Force-updated my machine to the anniversary update. 2) Downloaded Desktop App Converter and .wim file. 3) Setup the base image .wim 4) Ran the converter on my self-extracting installer with the following: .\DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Installer C:\tmp\TaskbarSystemMonitorInstaller.exe -InstallerArguments "

问题 I am trying to convert my app to an appx using Desktop App Converter. I am trying to use my Package/Identity/Name from the Microsoft store dashboard in the form of -PackageName "1234Myapp.Andthistoo". Desktop App Converter will not take it.It keeps coming back with a write error. From my searches I have been under the impression that the -PackageName category can not start with a number and it can not contain a period which my Package/Identity/Name contains both. It fails with this message:

Using Windows Desktop App Converter, Is it possible to start with Windows?

问题 I have used Windows Desktop App Converter to convert my WPF app to a store app. It all works apart from my "start with windows" feature. The way I was solving this was to create a shortcut in the "C:\Users\%%USER%%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" directory to my app but it seems like this method doesn't work any more (the shortcut doesn't appear). So how does one go about getting your app to launch on windows boot any more? Cheers, Mike 回答1: So how does one go

Fixing scaled images in AppX manifest generated by Destop App Converter

问题 I have used the Desktop App Converter to convert my Win32 application to .appx . The converter failed to convert application icons correctly. Icon transparency was lost. While I have reported this (bug?) to Microsoft, meanwhile I'd like to try to convert the icons manually. And I want to generate the .appx manually (using the makeappx ) in the end anyway. So I need to create the AppxManifest.xml . Problem is that the AppxManifest.xml generated by the Desktop App Converter is not valid. All

The files are quite large and I cannot keep adding
