    Hello everybody,

    I'm developing a Windows 8.1 Store application using WinJS. The problem is when I open an html page referencing WinJS libraries in the Visual Studio editor, I get the following message in the Visual Studio's output window:

    11:12:09.2694: Referenced file '\\Microsoft.WinJS.2.0\js\base.js' not found.
    11:12:09.2694: Referenced file '\\Microsoft.WinJS.2.0\js\ui.js' not found.

    My HTML pages are structured this way:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>    
    <meta charset="utf-8" />    
    <title>selectSource</title>    
    <!-- WinJS references -->    
    <link href="//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/css/ui-light.css" rel="stylesheet" />    
    <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/js/base.js"></script>    
    <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/js/ui.js"></script>        
    <!-- my app CSS/JS references-->

    When I launch my app in debug mode, everything works well, including WinJS treatments. But, I recently submitted my app for certification on the Windows Store, and I get rejected everytime for bugs I can't reproduce in local debug mode. I'm almost sure my application package is not well generated, and I think this is because the "file not found" messages written above.

    Could you help me please ? I'm very confused about that, and my application submission process is stuck and I'm not able to reproduce the listed bugs to fix them.

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Robert.

    Hi Robert,

    Someone moved your question to this forum, I'm not sure if it is too late to answer your question. Try with following steps to see if this works:

      • In the Solution Explorer, expand the References folder, right-click the reference to the pre-release version of Windows 8.1 (e.g. “Microsoft.WinJS.2.0.Preview” or “Microsoft.WinJS.2.0.Preview.RC”), and click Remove.
      • Right-click References again and click Add Reference.
      • In the dialog box, select Windows Library for JavaScript 2.0, and click OK.
