Capturing scaled images in the AppX manifest generated by Destop App Converter

Question

Capturing scaled images in the AppX manifest generated by Destop App Converter

I used the Desktop App Converter to convert my Win32 application to .appx.

The converter was unable to correctly convert application icons. The transparency icon has been lost. Although I reported this (bug?) To Microsoft, in the meantime I would like to try converting the icons manually. And I want to generate .appxmanually (using makeappx) in the end anyway. Therefore, I need to create AppxManifest.xml.

The problem is that the AppxManifest.xmlgenerated Desktop App Converter is not valid. All image paths point to non-existent files:

To get the contents of the PRI, you need to run the command: makepri.exe dump

Here is the contents of resources.pri.xml from the new package:
