I’m trying to run my unit tests for a Windows 8 Metro Class library i get the following 2 errors in the output window:
Output:
—— Run test started ——
Error : DEP3000 : Attempts to stop the application failed. This may cause the deployment to fail.
App Packages may only be shutdown as part of a Visual Studio build operation.
Failed to activate Metro style unit test executor. Error: The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling the application to fix the problem.

Other output:

Has anybody run into the problem?
Unit tests in other Win8 class librarys or apps works fine.
I think it’s something with the solution. Yesterday everything went fine. I guess there was a Windows update, maybe that screwed things up?
Things i’ve tried:
- Uninstalled R#
- Reinstalled Visual Studio 2012 RC
- Tried unit tests in other class library (works)
- Tried unit tests in Windows 8 app (works)
- Cleaned / Rebuild solution
- Debug and Release Configuration
- Added another Test project to the solution and unload other project(works)
Techincal Specs:
- Visual Studio 2012 RC Version: 11.0.50522.1
- Windows 8 RC Build 8400
- 64 Bit OS
- Had resharper 7, Uninstalled it.
I had the same problem, but when I set the build configuration to x86 (Configuration Manager, Active Solution Platform) it suddenly works. If I set the configuration to AnyCPU or x64, I get the “Failed to execute…” error.
I belive the test executer is a 32-bit application and it can not load a 64-bit library.
