Windows Store app: Unable to create x64 app package

Question

I receive the following error:

error MSB3030: Could not copy the file "obj\\x64\\Release\\\\project_name.xr.xml" because it was not found.

NOTE: The specified path from the error message is already an invalid path because of the two back-slashes (ie "\\\\") before the actual "xr.xml" file.

In other words, the system is looking for a directory path that is invalid.

Is this a VS2013 bug?

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by resolving the various warnings that I received from building the solution. After I resolved several warnings, I attempted to create a package again and was successful.
