DesktopAppConverter (DAC) says the expanded image is invalid, when I try to convert my app

I have downloaded the .wim file that matches my Windows version (14393) and gone through the process of setting up the converter. So, I have the converter app running on my machine. When I attempt to run a conversion, I get error message E_EXPANDED_BASEIMG_INVALID. I have tried to get rid of the expanded image by run DAC with the -Cleanup ExpandedImage parameter, but it fails to clear it. Have you managed to replace the expanded image? The files are quite large and I cannot keep adding expanded images to my machine. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Solution

  • I have the same experience before, the temporary workaround is to delete the BaseImage-14393 folder under C:\programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Images\ manually.

    Please notice that we need to get enough security permission to complete this operation, please see my detailed steps in this question

    Then I would suggest you reinstalling the Base Image.

    I will inform the related team on this issue.
