I have Preview Build on my test machine. I haven't checked it out fully, but I know after the install there were problems that required two reboots to get it working. Based on the Insider history ( which is how you get Preview builds ), it will be awhile for us to see this fully stabilize. The warning still exists from Microsoft "Do not use this on mission critical devices".

I was having problems with preview builds and very recently reverted to regular build by reinstalling. We need preview build to test the above new features.

I just realized that one of the files to be downloaded is this: BaseImage-14316.wim

And the Windows version required is Build 14316

What to do with BaseImage-14316.wim ?

It seems as this has to be executed in advance:

DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Setup -BaseImage BaseImage-14316.wim

Anyhow, I get the same error...

cmd.exe has to be executed as Administrator. From it, I execute this go.bat:

powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass
powershell .\DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Setup -BaseImage BaseImage-14316.wim
DesktopAppConverter -installer fivedbu.exe -ExpandedBaseImage: c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Images\CN=Microsoft_WindowsServerCore_10.0.14289.1000 -Destination: ".\fdbu.exe" -PackageName: FiveDBU -Publisher: "FiveTech Software SL" -Version: 16.03

I get this error now:

C:\software\DesktopAppConverter>powershell .\DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Setup -BaseImage BaseImage-14316.wim
AssertMinimumWindowsVersion: fatal error 1005: Your windows version is not high enough to use this script.
