DOA. UWP apps cannot access more than a handful of folder in the system.
You can kind of expand this, but at least stuff in the Store is barred even from just accessing "user data"

I created a test app but cant install it yet. It doesn't like my generated certificate:-/
This helped me much: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-windows-store/wiki/Manual-Creation
The converter is now available via store https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/store/p/desktopappconverter/9nblggh4skzw
You need also a BaseImage and neet to enable the Windows Containers feature https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter
After that run the setup once DesktopAppConverter.exe -Setup -BaseImage D:\wds\BaseImage-14393.wim
Now you are ready to capture app installs

I actually never needed to run it as admin. So no downside for me at least ^^

Are there any plans to get WinDirStat into the Windows store?
With the "Desktop Bridge" one can pack an x86 application as an AppX package. The only downside I can see right now is that one can't run WinDirStat as an admin. Everything else should work with no modifications.
