Windows 10: A bridged UWP app like Windows Terminal (Preview) won't run due to insufficient security...

Marr Raimund Salcedo · Aug 24, 2019

When I open Windows Terminal (preview) or any other bridged UWP app, this error pops-up.

I have modify or done anything to this directory nor to this application.

How can I fix this? Updating through the Microsoft Store or clicking "Repair" and then "Reset" on the Settings app or even clicking the "Open" button via the Microsoft Store doesn't do a thing, the window above still shows up.

Initial preview of Silverlight bridge to UWP

Today marks the initial release of Mobilize.NET’s Silverlight bridge, which helps Windows Phone Silverlight app developers bring their WP Silverlight 8.x apps to the Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Announced at Build 2015, the Moblize.NET bridge is free and directly integrates into Visual Studio. The bridge currently maps the 700 most used APIs and handles transitioning your manifests, APIs, XAML, NuGet package references and async/await changes. More APIs and mappings will follow with future updates. Mobilize.NET has a much more in-depth post on the Silverlight bridge that goes into detail on the features, so here we share only a high-level overview of the tool.

Once you use the tool to bring your app to the UWP, your app will have all the power of a UWP app, including the ability to – from a single code base – run on a PC, phone, Xbox, HoloLens, or even a Raspberry Pi.

Running the bridge

Once installed, open up Visual Studio, load your WP Silverlight app, then right-click your project from the Solution Explorer and select the “Convert to UWP” option. Additionally, any project that is in the solution will be migrated.

Helping extend and improve the mappings

The Silverlight bridge does the migration with a feature named the Mapping Mechanism. All mappings bundled with the tool have been open sourced and published in a public GitHub repository (MobilizeNet/UWPConversionMappings). This way developers around the world can use them as a reference implementation to write their own.

Start Migrating

The Silverlight bridge may not do a full transition as this is an initial preview now but the tool should get you most of the way. Since Silverlight is similar to UWP but not the same so most errors should be pretty straightforward to resolve. Once you fix compiler errors, you should be ready to start testing and adjusting your app.

The Building apps for Windows 10×10 article series has some helpful guidance on building apps. Topics range from building responsive UIs, speech, live tiles, to how to help get your app promoted in the Store.

Bringing your existing desktop apps to UWP

At Build 2016, we showed you how to use the Desktop App Converter to bring your existing desktop applications to the universal .appx packaging format as a first step to bringing your application to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Once on UWP, your apps are easier for users to manage and install, and you can integrate engaging UWP functionality and reach customers across the Windows 10 platform, including on IoT devices, Xbox One and HoloLens. We’d like to take this opportunity to further provide some context about the converter and other tooling involved (previously part of Project “Centennial”), and help you get started with the Desktop Bridge.

Since the release of the initial preview in early April, we’ve already seen hundreds of apps being converted and deployed for early testing. With the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14342, you can now run the Desktop App Converter on the Professional version of Windows, alongside the Enterprise edition that was previously enabled. Now is a great time to get started with converting your existing desktop applications to bring them to UWP!

What is the Desktop Bridge?

The Desktop Bridge brings a number of important improvements to the Windows platform for all developers. First, you can convert existing Windows desktop apps or games to .appx packages, so your users will be able to install them easily and experience seamless updates, be it through the Windows Store or any distribution channel of your choice.

Once converted to the UWP application model, the desktop app has access to new UWP APIs, including Live Tiles, push notifications and local/roaming app data, which previously were inaccessible to desktop apps. With this conversion process, your existing code continues to run with minimal changes and UWP deployment ensures that whatever state the app writes to the PC is isolated and easily cleaned up on uninstall – addressing a major pain point users have had with desktop apps in the past. Additionally, the app can now expose App Services, run Background Tasks, and have a XAML UI by adding a UWP app container process to the same app package.

With your existing code now running in the UWP application model, it’s straightforward to add additional functionality over time, gradually migrating existing Win32/.NET code to move functionality into the app container. Running your code in the app container benefits the security of your user’s machine, and at the end of the migration results in a UWP app that can run on PCs, Phones, IoT devices, Xbox One and HoloLens.

Convert – Create an .appx deployment package for your desktop application

Enhance – Call new UWP APIs from your desktop application

Extend – Add new functionality, such as UWP App Services and Background Tasks

Migrate – Move more code into the app container part of your package, such as a XAML UI frontend

Expand – Finish the migration of all code to the app container and expand your reach to all Windows devices

Getting Started

To get started, you need the current Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14342 (or higher), and the Windows 10 Anniversary SDK Preview Build 14332 (or higher). Please keep this installation separate from your production environment, as this build does not output valid app package for Store deployment. Next you’ll need the latest Desktop App Converter to complete your development environment. This tool converts your desktop app installer (such as MSI) to an .appx package that can be deployed to a Windows 10 Anniversary Edition desktop. If you’re trialing Visual Studio “15” Preview 2, you can also take a look at the packaging and debug support for projects that are using the Desktop Bridge. For more information, please read the Visual Studio blog post on Visual Studio “15” support with the Desktop Bridge.

If your desktop application does not have an installer (e.g. deployment just consists of file copy operations), or you want to explore the Desktop Bridge with a simple example first, you can check out our sample repo on GitHub. Using the Basic Desktop Bridge App sample as a template, you can replace the sample .exe with your binaries, adjust the respective entries in the manifest according to the documentation and you are done with the conversion. You don’t even need to install and run the Desktop App Converter for this type of project!

Test, Update, Enhance and Extend your converted app

Once you have successfully converted your desktop app (either with the Desktop App Converter or manually), you are ready to deploy, test and enhance your app. Now that your app is in the UWP app model and has an .appx package, the methods for doing this are the same as for any UWP app. Check out our Deploy and Debug documentation for detailed steps on side-loading and debugging. Note that your converted app may need some code changes in some cases. Be sure to read the Preparing Your Desktop App for Conversion to UWP topic on the Windows Dev Center.

You can now iterate on your code and start enhancing your app with exciting new UWP features that were previously not available to desktop apps. Add background tasks and app services. Add a UWP process to your package to host a UWP XAML UI frontend, and so much more. We will continue to update the Desktop Bridge sample repo on GitHub to demonstrate many of these great UWP features consumed by converted desktop applications, as we are getting closer to the final release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more in-depth information about these approaches, what the end-to-end developer process looks like and how to add new functionality to your existing app.

Help us improve the bridge

The Desktop Bridge offers an exciting path to migrate your existing desktop apps to UWP. It enables you to gradually move across the bridge at your own pace while keeping your existing code investments running at all times along the way.

As you explore the tools on current preview builds, we’re very keen on hearing about your experiences and receiving your feedback. The best place to make feature suggestions is on the Windows Developer UserVoice site. For questions and bug reports, please head over to the Developing Universal Windows apps forums.

SkyPe 7.23 won´t upgrade or uninstall due to privileges error

Hi community,

it´s a long time SkyPe 7.23 won´t upgrade due to this error:

The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Progeam FIle (x86)\Skype\Phone\RTMMediaManager.dll.

Of course I modified privileges in the file and also in the parent directory, from Everyone in Full Controll to removing inheritance, keeping existing privileges and adding full control to all voices in the Security tab but unfortunately the problem remains.

Today I tried to brutally solve the problem uninstalling it but the same error appear and....I´m stuck!

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64, fully updated.
