After Visual Studio (Community 2015 Update 3) crashed on deploying a UWP project with a bluescreen (Unexpected Store Exception, this has happened before), i can not deploy any projects anymore. I tried with the project VS crashed on, previous versions of that project as well as completely empty new projects.
The error message is the following:
DEP0600 : The following unexpected error occurred during deployment:
'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.
Repairing Visual Studio made no difference.
I can not locate the problem, but assume something was corrupted during the crash. Would a complete reinstall of VS do more than just a repair here? Does this maybe even require more drastic steps?
Thanks,
Reinhold
I had this problem too, I uninstalled all my
UWP
applications from All Settings -> Apps & features. it solved my problem I just uninstalledUWP
applications that I( myself) deployed.Just moving the "Projects" folder from Documents\Visual Studio 2015 to some other place solved my problem.
I got this error deploying to an xbox - uninstalling the app from dev home on the xbox dashboard fixed it.
Had same exact error and symptoms deploying to local machine after Windows Crash. Repair/Reinstall of VS did not help. Even system restore could not fix the problem.
For me I had to delete
AppData/Local/Microsoft/VisualStudio
folder for VS to rebuilt the necessary files.While working on a UWP app for Raspberry Pi 2 I experienced a similar DEP0600 error. Things like restarting Visual Studio or removing temp files didn't work.
It was only after I simply rebooted my Pi I was able to deploy again
I know it's an older thread - I encountered this just today with a UWP project/solution, I was getting the above deployment error in Dev. I R-click/uninstalled the existing package from the Start Menu and was good to go. Perhaps the package was in an unrecoverable or corrupted state.
