UwpAppx build - Application missing?

I'm trying to convert an .MSI file to a UWP appx package using the Desktop Bridge Setup Converter but getting the following error:
---
Checking builds status
Build required.

[ BuildUwpAppX ]

Total build time: 0 sec.
You must include at least one Application in an UwpAppx build
Error details

Build finished because an error was encountered.

I get the same error when I import the MSI into Advanced Installer and click the "UWP AppX Build" button under the "Build" menu. What application can I be missing? I'm importing an existing MSI!

Re: UwpAppx build - Application missing?

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

An Appx package can contain files and applications. An application is an executable file that can be launched by the user. So, please make sure that your MSI package contains at least one executable file before you try to convert it to Appx.
