I am trying to install an UWP (APPX) application on a Hololens emulator but I get this error:
Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. (0x80073cfd)
The APPX has been converted by using Desktop App Converter. I can successfully install it on my PC running Windows 10. I don't know what that error means and how can I debug it. Documentation sucks big time!
I have also tried the x64 arch and I get this (which makes sense...)
Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: The deployment operation failed because the package targets the wrong processor architecture. (0x80073d10)
Thanks!
The Windows Desktop App Converter does not actually convert an application into a UWP App, it wraps the .net 4.6.1+ application in a UWP app so that it can be distributed in the store and run as a UWP app. The platform you are deploying the App to must be capable of running a .net 4.6.1+ application for this to work. Currently the HoloLens is not capable of running these applications.
