Question

I am trying to run Metro apps on Target machine but I got error Invalid manifest...

Answer 1

Could you elaborate on the steps you followed both to create the appx package and the output from the Add-AppxDevPackage.bat on the client. Where did you see the error surface?

Thanks,

Ftduarte,

You will need to update and rebuild your project to run it on the Consumer Preview. See the sticky thread Migrating Windows 8 Developer Preview code to Consumer Preview for help.

In the future please create a new thread for new questions rather than repurposing an old one.
