oh, didn’t try the link and yes, seems that MS corrupted it.
The base images can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56049.Cheers

@donho What base image are you using to run the DesktopAppConverter?

BaseImage-15063.wim - which I’m trying to remove without success, as I described above. -
-
doesn’t this file exist? Then it looks like 15063 isn’t correctly installed.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Images\BaseImage-15063\version.jsonCheers

@Claudia-Frank said:
did you run this as administrator?
Yes, the console was launched as administrator.

I would give it a try to use option All like
DesktopAppConverter -Cleanup "All" -Verbosebut to be honest if I were you I would try to go in contact with MS as
I’m pretty sure they would love to see npp on the store.Cheers

Current version of Desktop App Converter is 2.1.1.0. Maybe this version available via the MS Store fixes your issue. Additionally see this comment https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter
If you’re using build number 15063, and the minor version of that build is equal to or greater than .483 (For example: 15063.540), make sure to download the BaseImage-15063-UPDATE.wim file. If the minor version of that build is less than .483, download the BaseImage-15063.wim file. If you’ve already setup an incompatible version of this base file, you can fix it. This blog post explains how to do that.

I did it! I have converted apps before, and did it fairly easily.
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3883
My only concern is that the updater program might have to be removed, because updates come from Windows Store and an error would result if it tried to update itself (security reasons).

I was actually looking at potential open-source desktop apps that would be good for the Windows Store, and came across Notepad++ and figured that would be good. So I did it, posted an issue to support it, only to discover you were already working on it. Perfect. :)
Some notes:
- I am running Build 16299 (Fall Creator’s Update) of Windows 10 Pro. Windows 10 Home does not work.
- I used the 16299 base image from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/dac
My command:
DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer npp.7.5.1.Installer.exe -InstallerArguments "/S" -Destination notepad++ -PackageName "NotepadPlusPlus" -Publisher "CN=GJSMan" -Version 7.5.1.0 -Sign -MakeAppxWhen I ran this command, my folder structure was:
- Downloads (folder)
-
- npp.7.5.1.Installer.exe (installer file)
-
- notepad++ (folder where install files go on command run)
I was running from a PowerShell with this directory, as administrator, and using the “Desktop App Converter” app from the Windows Store.

@Claudia-Frank said:
DesktopAppConverter -Cleanup “All” -Verbose
@donho The
DesktopAppConverter -Cleanup "All" -Verbosecommand, I would recommend trying as well.I would give a few recommendations to other points here:
- If you are having trouble removing a base image, try the command I just listed from @Claudia-Frank and see if it works.
- I would recommend signing the package with
-Sign, because then you can install the AppX generated certificate into “Trusted People” area, enable sideloading, and then test the AppX (whereas, if it isn’t signed even with this self-generated certificate, installation will fail) - If you are having particular trouble, do how I did it using a Virtual Machine. You just download VMWare, and then a copy of the latest Windows from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 as an ISO. Believe it or not, you don’t need to activate Windows to have this method work.
- Ideally, you would write a small script to run the Desktop App Converter command for you, because you might as well become good at running it (because you will run it every time you make a revision). Similar to
.\build-appx.sh 7.0.0.0or something simple. - When you submit your app, you may need special permission from Microsoft for desktop app submissions. This is free, but you will need to fill out a form at: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/projects/campaigns/desktop-bridge They will also help with the process if you need.
-
Well, that is done.
Essentially, I would like to let you know something right now that I have discovered.
The Desktop App Converter makes converting the basic app easy - sure. However, if you want to make really any modifications like changing the Display Name to support the
++in the name, or you want to support opening.xmlfiles (or any other file extension) from the “Open With” menu, it gets really complicated really quickly.Nonetheless, I have successfully packaged Notepad++ as appx. It will let you open any file (
.xmlor.phpor whatever), and is signed with my personal certificate.If you want, I could put out instructions, but I warn you they were not easy to accomplish - took me a few hours experimentation, easily. You essentially have to take the package files, then modify the AppxManifest.xml file to support the file extensions you want, then generate a certificate on your computer (different from the ones
-Signmakes), then make an Appx usingMakeAppx.exewhich is added to your System Environment Variables, then Package that AppX and sign it withsigntool.exe. Not easy, but I did it.You might wonder, wasn’t it working before? It was, but you won’t be able to add extensible features to the package without the long list of complicated steps I just mentioned, for doing things like right-clicking an XML and seeing it under the "Open with " menu, or having a list of default-supported extensions. It will work, but many features that would greatly help out would be missing. You won’t be able to, say, double-click a file in File Explorer and have Notepad++ open it, for example.
Desktop App Converterdoes only the basic stuff - it gets harder, quickly.If you like, perhaps I could just be the community packager for AppX files… I am here to answer any questions on request, and if you want an instruction guide I will write it.
-
A few photos, plus improvements to the package I have made:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3883

I have a testing build up and with instructions. :)
It is configured to open
.rtf,.txt, and.xmlfiles from File Explorer, if installed. You can see it at the bottom of the GitHub issue (link above) -
I am on fire today. Sorry for inundating your email boxes!
I released Revision 6 of a build. It supports all extensions except 3 (which I talked about on the GitHub issue). Removed updater as well. It works very well - good enough to publish! :)
This is not a pure Desktop App Converter build. Rather, I take the files Desktop App Converter creates, then modify them to support a few additional, crucial features.
- You can right-click any Notepad++ supported extension (except
.cmd,.bat, and.hta) and find Notepad++ under the “Open With” menu, or set it as default. This is important because the conversion bridge does not support the old way of setting supported extensions (in fact, the whole File Extensions settings panel in Notepad++ doesn’t do anything with the UWP Bridge on). If this did not work, you could only open files from within Notepad++, and never from File Explorer. - Added the “Edit with Notepad++” menu item when right-clicking items. Unfortunately, due to the stronger security model on UWP Bridge apps, Notepad++ must have been set to default for that file extension already for the “Edit with Notepad++” menu item to appear. This makes it a little redundant, but I added it for backward-compatibility sake.
I will make a few more revisions before I am happy with it. After that, I will either
- Make a guide, explaining how the APPX design works best, and how to do this manually OR
- (Hopefully) become a maintainer and submit APPX packages every time a new release comes out to @donho to manually upload to the Windows Store.
- You can right-click any Notepad++ supported extension (except
-
I hope that the Windows store (ugh!) won’t be the ONLY way to get Notepad++ moving forward…
-
@Alan-Kilborn No, it shouldn’t be. This takes the .exe file (already generated) that is currently used, and then packages it up. So you would have to make a regular installer anyway to use this method. Which, at that point, why stop supplying it if you are going to do it anyway?
-
Besides, Windows 7 still has 46.63% usage, according to https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0, and Windows 10 only has 29.26% usage.
You don’t want to abandon more than half the market overnight, now do you? :)

I just posted all of my instructions to build an AppX with my tweaks and improvements on GitHub. I will post a copy here.
Instructions:
- Make sure a proper base image is installed, run DesktopAppConverter app as Admin.
- In this example, directory system looks like:
- Downloads
-
- npp.7.5.1.Installer.exe
-
- notepad++ (folder)
-
-
- npp.build (folder, always use for current build)
-
-
-
-
- cert.pfx
-
-
-
-
-
- mynamehere.cer
-
-
-
-
-
- PackageFiles (folder)
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Assets (folder)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- localization (folder)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- plugins (folder)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- VFS (folder)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- notepad++.exe
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- AppxManifest.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- [Various other system-generated files…]
-
-
-
-
-
- npp.build.11.10.2017 […]
-
-
-
- npp.build.11.09.2017 […]
-
- Always rename a build, once completed, to have the date added at the end. This is important - the “npp.build” folder should only be used for latest build.
- Run command similar to this from Downloads folder:
DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer npp.7.5.1.Installer.exe -InstallerArguments "/S /noUpdater" -Destination notepad++ -PackageName "npp.build" -Publisher "CN=GJSMan" -Version 7.5.1.0cd notepad++\np.build\PackageFiles- Now, copy the
AppxManifest.xmlfile from the previous build, overwriting theAppxManifest.xmlthat is in the current folder. If this is your first build, don’t do this, and editAppxManifest.xmlto match the file listed at the bottom of this post.
cp ../../npp.build.11.10.2017/AppxManifest.xml AppxManifest.xml-
Edit the newly-copied
AppxManifest.xmlfile, updating the version number on line 3. Don’t make any other modifications. -
Make the AppX:
cd ..MakeAppx pack /v /h SHA256 /d "PackageFiles" /p Notepad++.appxNOTE: When doing this for the first time, you must add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x86to thePathattribute inEnvironment Variablesfor this to work, and restart PowerShell.
If you are using a different build than 16299, you should open the folder in File Explorer and adjust accordingly.- Sign the AppX, so you can install and test:
A) Copy the certificate already generated (see below if this is your first time) from your previous build into thenpp.buildfolder.
B) Run:
signtool sign /fd SHA256 /a /f mycert.pfx /p MYSECRETPASSWORDHERE MyPackage.appxIf doing this for the first time, you must generate a private certificate on your computer, then copy the
.pfxand.cerfiles into thenpp.buildfolder, then use that to sign.- To clarify, the
.ceris the public key (the exported one), whereas the.pfxis used for signing and is private. - You must have the Environment Variable in Step 7 set for this to work.
- You only need to generate the certificate one time. After this, again, just copy-and-paste the certificate from the previous build into the new one.
To generate the certificate (if this is your first build):
A)New-SelfSignedCertificate -Type Custom -Subject "CN=<YourNameHere>" -KeyUsage DigitalSignature -FriendlyName <Your Friendly Name> -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\My"
B)Set-Location Cert:\LocalMachine\My
C)Get-ChildItem | Format-Table Subject, FriendlyName, Thumbprint
D)$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String <Your Password> -Force -AsPlainText
E)Export-PfxCertificate -cert "Cert:\LocalMachine\My\<Certificate Thumbprint>" -FilePath C:\Users\myname\Downloads\notepad++\npp.build\cert.pfx -Password $pwd
F)cd C:\Users\myname\Downloads\notepad++\npp.build
G) Open “Manage Computer Certificates” from Search box in Windows 10.
H) Double click “Personal” > “Certificates”
I) Right click, “All Tasks” > Export
J) Next, “No, I do not want to export the private key”, “DER Encoded Binary”, and save toC:\Users\myname\Downloads\notepad++\npp.build\mynamehere.cer. “Next”, “Finish.”
K) Update yourAppxManifest.xmlfile to use “CN=YourNameHere” and update your publisher names in that file.
L) Go to the top, part B above this. Runsigntoolusing your newly-generated.pfx.- Double click the
.ceronce signed, and Install it to “Trusted People.” - Double click the
.appxjust generated, and click Install.
Additional Notes:
This is the default AppX. When building a build for the first time, you must copy and paste this AppX over the generated one.
