I’m in the process of testing a Windows Phone 7 app using the test kit but receive an error relating to the background.png dimensions

When running the test kit it says: 

Result            Test Name                          Test Description     
Failed       XAP Package Requirement        Validation of XAP file size and content files

                                Result Details
[ERROR] : Background.png is not a valid PNG file with the required size: 62 x 62

However when I change the dimensions to 62×62 it says the same, but saying the dimensions should be 173×173. I therefore wondered how to resolve this issue as I don’t recall changing any code relating to the background.png file..

Thanks

@Gambit Thanks both Icon and background where set to the background file.

    In your WMAppManifest.xml, there is an entry called <IconPath>. This should be set to the .png that is 62 x 62 (the small tile).

    There is also an entry called <PrimaryToken> which should contain a . This should be set to the .png that is 173 x 173 (the pinned tile).

    Make sure both of these .pngs exist in your project and they are referenced correctly.
