    In Update 1.1, creating a Store associated package fails for a Universal Windows application (UWP) using a WinRT component (.winmd).

    The reported error is: Manifest references file '<dll name>' which is not part of the payload.

    A bug fix for the Visual Studio Tools for Universal Windows Apps (v1.1.1) released on 5 October 2015. This update requires that you already have the UWP tools v1.1 installed. You can determine whether you have UWP tools 1.1 installed by opening About Microsoft Visual Studio from the Help menu in Visual Studio. If you have “Visual Studio Tools for Universal Windows Apps 14.0.23309.00” installed, then you have the UWP tools 1.1.

     

    To install this update

    • You must have an internet connection throughout the setup process.

    • For machines without Visual Studio

    • For machines with UWP Tools 1.1 installed
