DDS saving but not a BMP

[mister-404]

The below function successfully receives a texture ptr from Unity and saves the file to a DDS but cannot make a BMP version.

void SavePNG(void* textHandle) {
	using namespace DirectX;
	using namespace Microsoft::WRL;

	IUnityGraphicsD3D11* d3d = s_UnityInterfaces->Get<IUnityGraphicsD3D11>();
	auto m_Device = d3d->GetDevice();

	ID3D11DeviceContext* ctx = NULL;
	m_Device->GetImmediateContext(&ctx);

	ID3D11Texture2D* camText = (ID3D11Texture2D*)textHandle;
	D3D11_TEXTURE2D_DESC descrip;

	camText->GetDesc(&descrip);

	HRESULT hr = SaveDDSTextureToFile(ctx, (ID3D11Resource*)textHandle,
		L"C:\\Users\\main\\Desktop\\HMM.dds");

	hr = SaveWICTextureToFile(ctx, (ID3D11Resource*)textHandle,
		GUID_ContainerFormatBmp, L"C:\\Users\\main\\Desktop\\HMM.bmp");

	_com_error err(hr);
	LPCTSTR errMsg = err.ErrorMessage();

	//write to a text file to confirm that the texture data from unity got here
	std::ofstream outFile("C:\\Users\\main\\Desktop\\Report.txt");

	outFile << "TextureHandle: " << textHandle << std::endl;

	outFile << "Width from descrip: " << descrip.Width << std::endl;
	outFile << "Height from descrip: " << descrip.Height << std::endl;
	outFile << "HRESULT: " << hr << std::endl;
	outFile << "Err Message: " << errMsg << std::endl;
	outFile << "Color Format: " << descrip.Format << std::endl;

	outFile.close();

	ctx->Release();
}

That report file is thus:-

TextureHandle: 00000251E7279A38
Width from descrip: 1920
Height from descrip: 1080
HRESULT: -2147024846
Err Message: 000002520D9A3AE0
Color Format: 9

It says here that I can't upload a DDS file so I've included a PNG conversion that I made using Paint.NET here:-

Some pointers on where I'm going wrong would be awesome. I'm really eager to learn as much about DX11 as possible and I'm having so much fun with it.

Thanks a bunch!

DXGI color format 9 is DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_TYPELESS. This is not a format that maps to a native Windows Imaging Component (WIC) pixel format. DDS can read/write all DXGI formats, but standard image formats cannot.

Thanks ever so much!

I'm going to attempt to copy the pixel values into a new texture with a new colour format that bitmaps agree with.

I really appreciate your time.
