Windows store app deployment error

Question

I just downloaded and installed Visual studio on my computer (windows 8.1) to start building windows 8 apps. The problem is when I try to run any application this error message shows up (the application from this error message is called Parcels.comStarter):

Error 1 Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Deployment Register operation on Package a783768f-d79c-495b-bf64-e59e4297fb42_1.0.0.0_neutral__1mfyfctfxa0tr from: (d:\Gebruikers\wardv_000\Downloads\Parcels.comStarter\Parcels.comStarter\Parcels.com\bin\Debug\AppX\AppxManifest.xml) failed with error 0x8E5E0530. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. (0x80073cf9) Parcels.com

I searched the entire internet but I didn't found a solution. I also did reinstall visual studio and I still have the problem.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

1. Open the Services management console (services.msc) and stop the Windows Installer service.

2. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository\ and rename PackageRepository.edb to PackageRepository.edb.backup.

3. Back in the management console, restart the Windows Installer service.

4. Now run Visual Studio as an administrator and open your project.

Answer 2

I was having this exact same problem, and the solution for me was to unlink my Windows account from my Microsoft account.

Answer 3

There are a couple of things to try.

• Run WSReset (press [Win] then type wsreset)
• Delete the metastore and remotemetastore folder here: C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync where %userprofile% is your username. (I suggest just renaming them to metastore.old and remotemetastore.old)
• Make sure that there are no staged packages for the app in question.
