I have a problem when I try to compile a Windows Store App in C#/XAML. Every time that I try to compile I receive this error:
Error 1 The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) App1
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsXaml\v11.0\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Common.targets(190,9): Xaml Internal Error error WMC9999: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
I have the file, so it is not the problem. This problem also appears when I create a new Windows 8 store app from a template, so it seems a problem with my system. I tried to reboot the computer and repair the VS2012 installation (twice) without results.
Any idea? Anyone could help me to solve this problem? I have Visual Studio Professional 2012. Thanks in advance

My problem was I was using some references to things that were not yet included in the solution. Once I removed all references, everything worked. But the error message is totally useless.
