Facing problem in following Blend Tutorial with something AppX Manifest

Question

Hello ;

First extreme sorry for my very bad English ....

I am using Windows 8 Release Preview 32 Bit; Visual Studio 2011 Ultimate with Blend & I am following tutorial on this link for learning designing of Windows Store Apps on Blend : msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj129451.aspx ; This is my environment.

As described in tutorial I followed commands and downloaded Memory Game Sample Project and after extraction into correct folder I opened File>Open Project/Solution. but when I attempted to open Memory.sln file in Project Folder, Then a massage is flashing continuously in "default.html" file on designer panel. The Massage is "An error was encountered while registering the AppX manifest: Install failed. Please contact your software vendor. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF9): Resolve this issue and reload the project."

Please help me out to short out this problem step by step because I just want to make my design on MetroUI as soon as possible. I can't hold my craze....

Thanking You

Hey ,

Thanks for Reply..

But I just want to know is there any place where I can download "package.appxmanifest" file of older version (supported to my environment) ... otherwise I have to upgrade my OS from Win8RP to Win8RTM and VS2011Beta to VS2012forWin8.

If I can download it then I will replace this older file with newer version file after this I hope my problem will solve ..... because someone was telling me that Memory game zip file in following tutorial was developed for VS2012RTM.....

Thanking

Hello,

I don't know if you have solve this issue but, I came across it today as. What I did to get on with the tutorial was to change the WinJS in the default.html from WinJS.10.RC to WinJS.1.0. Please look at the code snippet below

Change from this

<linkhref="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.RC/css/ui-dark.css"rel="stylesheet"/>

<scriptsrc="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.RC/js/base.js"></script>

<scriptsrc="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.RC/js/ui.js"></script>

TO this

<linkhref="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/css/ui-dark.css"rel="stylesheet"/>

<scriptsrc="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js"></script>

<scriptsrc="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/ui.js"></script>

Hope this helps you get on
