Deploying "Blank App" Template Raises Error DEP0800

Question

Hi,

When I create a new project using the Templates ->Visual C++ -> Windows Metro Style -> Blank App (XAML) template [or any other template in the "Windows Metro Style" directory] , without making any changes to the template, I cannot deploy due to "Error DEP0800".

How can I fix this? I've tried changing my target to x64 in the Configuration Manager, but I can't get around this ARM issue.

My build output is the following:

1>------ Build started: Project: App4, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>  pch.cpp
1>  App.xaml.cpp
1>  MainPage.xaml.cpp
1>  XamlTypeInfo.Impl.g.cpp

Answer 1

Did you succeed ? Changing to x86 in configuration manager does not work.

Answer 2

I haven't had any success yet. I've tried changing to Win32 and x64 in the Configuration Manager. I'm relatively new to development on Windows, and I don't know all the ins and outs of configuring Visual Studio.

Answer 3

what do we do ?

Answer 4

i installed mine today Express RC for Windows8.

Which one is yours?

Answer 5

1、open folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\11.0\AppX\Debug\ARM and rename Microsoft.VCLibs.arm.Debug.11.appx it to Microsoft.VCLibs.arm.Debug.11.appx1

2、copy C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\11.0\AppX\Debug\x86\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.Debug.11.appx to ...\AppX\Debug\ARM and rename it to Microsoft.VCLibs.arm.Debug.11.appx

3、deploy your app

Answer 6

Brilliant hack. It worked. I am using Win8 RTM with DevStudio 2012 RC. Had problem building/deploying even the metro samples. Hope this will be fixed when DevStudio 2012 becomes final.

Answer 7

That works perfectly!
