I’m trying to run a windows 8 sample app on Visual studio 2012 express

  • 0

I’m trying to run a windows 8 sample app on Visual studio 2012 express edition for windows 8.
I used web installer for VS and using windows 8 release preview build 8400.

I get this message even the app build is sucessful:
Error : DEP0800 : The required framework “F:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0\1.0\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.appx” failed to install.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WinJS.1.0 because this package requires a higher Windows version. The package requested Windows version 6.2 with AppModel version 1, while the current Windows version is 6.2 with AppModel version 0. App4

Any help?

    The Visual Studio 2012 released version (downloads here) will work only with the RTM version of Windows 8, which is generally available on Oct. 26th, but a 90-day trial is available now.

    The Windows 8 Release Preview is only compatible with Visual Studio 2012 RC, which I thought would be available until Windows 8 GA, but the link I had for it appears to now be broken. You might be able to find a cached copy somewhere.
