Windows 8 CTP / Visual Studio 11 Beta / JavaScript App / DEP0700

Question

I just installed the Windows 8 Customer Technology Preview on a VHD, booted into it, and then grabbed the VS11 beta.  I created a new JavaScript Metro Style app, pressed Ctrl+F5, and got the following error:

"Error 1 Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app in the layout folder "C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\Visual Studio 11\Projects\Temp\Application1\Application1\bin\Debug\AppX" failed. Application1"

I'm the only user on the system.

I accepted the developer license.

I tried running VS under both normal and elevated privileges.

I tried both the path I wanted to use (C:\dev\temp\Application1) and the one Visual Studio defaults to (C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\VIsual Studio 11\Projects\Temp\Application1).

Any thoughts as to what I've done wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the log.

Do you have package.appxmanifest file modified in the project?

0x80070490 is 'element not found', seems it cannot find something in the xml file.

Funny, it's working now.  I don't know what's changed, but I can deploy apps just fine now.  Thanks for the time looking at this...
