Review title of JacobProblems in Setup

Good idea. The problem is that if the setup is aborted then the app does not work even if the app is reinstalled. If there is a recovery option for version 1.1, that will be workable.

It's early in it development and with that in mind, this is a great time saver. I would like to point out to the reviewer above, Patrick, exactly what an 'Insider Preview' is and why down rating an app based on that 'Preview' may not be the most helpful use of anyone's time...but I'm sure he is realizing that. Best, ~Kevin

Review title of GarenDoesn't work

It gets stuck on the "Waiting for Installer process to complete inside isolated environment" step... I tried it with my project and a newly created empty project. The result didn't change.

Review title of UnknownDoesn't run

Pops up with a 'The parameter is incorrect.' message and dies. Looks like I'll be trying a manual conversion!

Review title of WesleyYet another locked down feature...

Locking this app down to the Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows is ridiculous. Yet another thing Microsoft disables on Windows Home. It's ridiculous

Review title of UnknownDesktop App Converter: A disaster

To complicated to put an app on the Microsoft store. You people smoked something. I should be using a simple button which says "Upload your App" ! I have spent 14$ for nothing. I also spent 2 days from my life for this crap !
