wwahost.exe exits in release build with code -1073740767 (0xc0000421)

Question

Thats the execption:

Unhandled exception at 0x74891CDA (KernelBase.dll) in WWAHost.exe: 0x00000004: The system cannot open the file (parameters: 0x00000000, 0x80070005, 0x00000005).

That is the stack trace:

and then:

The app runs fine in debug builds.

Hi Pkursawe,

This error message is so broad, we should work together to narrow it down. Have you tried the system build-in metro style app, can they work? If not, I think it’s the problem about your operating system, you need to ask on consumer forum. I found similar questions may help.

If the build-in app can work, then we can build a blank Javascript project to test in release mode to see if it can work. If it can that means there should be some code incorrect in your project. We can copy small code snippet to the blank project to find what’s wrong with the code.

If the blank project cannot work either, that maybe something wrong with your development platform.

Please try and let me know the result.

Answer 2

Thanks for your answer. I checked the other threads you mentioned but got it solved very easily by just uninstalling the app (that I deployed in Debug mode all the time before). That removed the local apps folder (including the AC folder where the PRI files are cached) and after deploying the app in release mode it worked.
