Error building cordova windows8


When i build current project for wp8 , everything works fine. When i build for windows8 i get following error :

: error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft \VisualStudio\v12.0\JavaScript\Microsoft.VisualStudio.WJProject.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, an d that the file exists on disk.

I have spend a couple of hours searching for solution on the internet but to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas ???


Solution

  • I have been troubleshooting the same issue, but I am building for Windows 7. However, when I searched, I found this, which is specific to Windows 8, and may be the key to your answer.

    Found at http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=570925:

    On that page under Visual Studio it states: "You will also need to install a version of Microsoft Visual Studio ... that supports Windows Store Javascript app creation.."

    and

    its Visual Studio Express for Windows 8. I had installed Visual Studio Express for Desktop which is not suitable.
