Store Apps wont deploy - The package repository is corrupted

Question

When trying to deploy any store apps I get the following error:-

Error 1 Error : DEP0600 : The following unexpected error occurred during deployment:
The package repository is corrupted. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CFE) TestApp1

E.g. I create a new grid app, in a new solution.  It builds but when I try to run in local or simulator the above error is immediately displayed. 

What's wrong?

Thx

Hi Gmotagi,

Please try the following steps to see if they are helpful:

1). Copy the Windows Store projects to your local drive.
2). Uninstall the project on the Start Screen by right-clicking the project and select Uninstall.
3). Rebuild and Re-run your project.

Thanks,

Answer 3

Hi everybody,

I have the same problem with Windows 8.1 Preview and Visual Studio 2013 Preview.

I can not install new apps by using the store anymore, too.

Trying to uninstall a app does not work. Is there another way to solve the problem?

Kind regards,

Fabian

Answer 4

I have this problem as well, is there any resolution?  I can't afford to wipe my machine and re-load it all.

If this affects all apps rather than your specific app then you'll need to address this at the OS level. Please ask on the Windows 8 forum at http://answers.microsoft.com .
