Create App Package Bundle Creation Failed. Access is denied.

Question
-
I'm trying to run Create App Packages in Visual Studio 2013 for my Windows 8.1 Store app. After validating my license and selecting the app name it fails with the following:
1. Bundle creation failed.
2. 0x80070005 - Access is denied.The file its referring in the Error List is MakeAppx.
Sounds like a simple access restriction but I have no idea where the restriction is and I'm running as administrator anyway.
Any help?
Thanks.

No its not AV.
I just managed to get it to work. I had to give myself full control to the actual .appx file in the app packages folder. Very strange.

Does this occur with any other project, such as a new, empty project?

I created a new empty project and get a slightly different error:
Error 1 Task 'CreateAppStoreContainer' failed. Access to the path 'c:\users\drg\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\App1\App1\AppPackages\App1_1.1.0.1_AnyCPU_Test\App1_1.1.0.1_AnyCPU.appx' is denied.
App1The file exists and I have full control on file and folder so it doesn't make sense.

You might run Process Monitor and check the logs to see what it says about access to that location.

I've done that and it doesn't seem like anything has a lock on it. I've reinstalled Visual Studio 2013 deleted the project folder and still have the issue. If you have any other help would be appreciated.Thursday, December 5, 2013 2:27 PM

Perhaps Anti-Virus?
