Desktop App Converter -PackageName E_MANIFEST_USE_DEFAULT_VALUE_FAILED

I am trying to convert my app to an appx using Desktop App Converter.

I am trying to use my Package/Identity/Name from the Microsoft store dashboard in the form of -PackageName "1234Myapp.Andthistoo".

Desktop App Converter will not take it.It keeps coming back with a write error.

From my searches I have been under the impression that the -PackageName category can not start with a number and it can not contain a period which my Package/Identity/Name contains both.

It fails with this message:

DesktopAppConverter : error 'E_MANIFEST_SET_PROPERTY_FAILED': Property 'Package.Identity.Name' in AppxManifest.xml could not be set to the value '123MyApps.MyAppsproject' given for parameter -'PackageName'. Please visit: 'https://aka.ms/idname' for more info on the Data type requirements for the property. At line:1 char:1 + &'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppConverter_1.0.9.0_ ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,DesktopAppConverter.ps1

When I got to the identity information page it says:

Identity Name = A string between 3 and 50 characters in length that consists of alpha-numeric, period, and dash characters.

I can not see what I am doing wrong

It should be something like Microsoft.Office.OneNote_8wekyb3d8bbwe – Peter Torr - MSFT
tried that still the same – gerry
Does your app's name actually start with "123"? – Peter Torr - MSFT
No the four numbers it starts with are the package identity name from the dashboard – gerry
Please duplicate of Desktop App Converter -PackageName Error, thanks. – Cherry Bu - MSFT
