When I use the Microsoft's Desktop App Converter to convert a traditional Win32 app to UWP, the setup for Desktop App Converter succeeds, but when converting it encounters an error E_NO_COMPATIBLE_EXPANDED_BASE_IMAGE. The details:

DesktopAppConverter : error 'E_NO_COMPATIBLE_EXPANDED_BASE_IMAGE': No expanded base image with Windows Version compatible with the host OS could be found in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Images'
所在位置 C:\Users\dhike\Desktop\DesktopAppConverter_2\converter_util\CWACLogger.ps1:141 字符: 13
+             throw New-Object -TypeName $exceptionType -ArgumentList $ ...
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OperationStopped: (:) [], ConfigurationErrorsException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DesktopAppConverter : error 'E_NO_COMPATIBLE_EXPANDED_BASE_IMAGE': No expanded base image with Windows Version compatible with the host OS could be found in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Images'

Does anyone know the source of this error and how to fix it?

My Desktop App Converter's version is 0.1.22 and the base image is BaseImage-14383.wim, download from here, and my host OS is Win10 Pro Preview version 1677 (14388).

    Desktop App Converter is, according to Microsoft, a "pre-released product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released." Did you read through the [caveats](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter#caveats) and if so, did any apply? – theB Jul 13 '16 at 12:05
  • yes, i ignored the caveats, but why the [download page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53122) said that the host os can be build 14372 and up? – Lomuto Jul 14 '16 at 01:17

the base image is BaseImage-14383.wim, download from here, and my host OS is Win10 Pro Preview version 1677 (14388) No expanded base image with Windows Version compatible with the host OS could be found in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Images'

This exception states the converter failed to locate a base image that matches your Insider Preview build. Your Host OS version is Insider 14388, the compatible Base Image version should be 14388 instead of 14383.

So the only way is waiting for the 14388 base image and setup the converter again.

BTW: For feedback about Desktop App Converter, Centennial team is currently monitor issues on UserVoice site, please post your issue there.

  • but on the [download page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53122), the System Requirements said that the host OS could be build 14372 and up – Lomuto Jul 14 '16 at 01:13
  • @Lomuto This page may not describe this clearly, the related team is working on getting the base image updated to 14388. – Franklin Chen - MSFT Jul 14 '16 at 02:12

I have this same error. I use a Windows in the Fast Insider channel (1709 OS 16296.0). I downloaded the BaseImage "BaseImage-16257.wim"

Is this last BaseImage not correct with this Insider Build ?
