I'm working on my first windows store app in WinDev, I've gone through all the pre-requisites for doing so, and can compile my application just fine.&#13;
&#13;
However, whenever I try to include the WIndows Store Apps API "Windows" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd" I get the error I've pasted below during the compile.&#13;
&#13;
Obviously something is wrong here, but I'm not sure what to look at. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows 8 SDK. Tried installing the Windows 8.1 SDK and pointing my application to that. Verified that the file "Windows.winmd" it says it can't find is actually there in the correct path.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Any help would be greatly appreciated.&#13;
