Certification fails for unchanged new project of type C++ Metro App in VS2011 preview

Question

When I create a new C++ Metro App project in VS2011, build it and certify it. The certification fails. The project is not changed with custom/new code.

Failures reported:

* Binary Analyzer: Failed SAfeSEHCheck check. Solution:Use linker soptions /SAFESEH  /NTCOMPAT /DYNAMIC. Last two option salready used and even after adding /SAFESEH the certification doesn't pass.

* Suppoerted APIs: This application failed the supported API check. For GetModuleFileNameW(), LoadLibrary, and many more.

I am using the wslkui.exe on the Win8 desktop to certify.

Win8 build  : 8102

VS2011 ver: 11.0.40825.2 PREREL

Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you testing a release build or a debug build? Debug builds will not pass certification.
