VS Express 2013 Error DEP1700: The recipe file 'xxxxx.appxrecipe' does not exist. You may need to build your project

I just repaired / reinstalled my Windows 8.1 PC and then installed VS 2013 Express. But every time I build my projects (all my projects), it got me this error:

Error 1 Error: DEP1700: The recipe file "xxxxx.appxrecipe" does not exist. You may need to create your own project.

I tried this step:

  • Rebuilding my VS 2013 Express
  • Uninstall VS 2013 Express-Restarting PC-Install VS 2013 Express
  • Check out my projects recently and build them from the start.

But none of them work for me. Can anyone help me? Because everything works fine before reinstalling my PC.

Well, I decided to install VS 2013 Update 4 and that somehow fixed my problem ... not sure what happened.

I experienced the same problem with a Xamarin Forms app when I tried to start a UWP instance on my local machine. After a bit of digging, it turns out that in Configuration Manager (Right Click File -> Configuration Manager) BUILD was disabled and DEPLOY was ticked. Will never work as the project cannot be deployed if not built!

In Visual Studio 2017, simply restarting Visual Studio solves the problem (no need to clean or delete obj / bin folders).

Stumbled upon this issue and it turned out that LDJ had a good answer. Configuration Manager and check the BUILD boxes for the projects causing this issue.
