I'm getting the error Error 1 File 'Windows.props' not found. every time I try to build a JS Store app (Windows, Windows Phone or Universal).
I've been getting this error ever since i installed the 'Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator', I have tried restoring my PC to a previous state (a day before the installation), repairing multiple times, removing the Emulator, re-installing Visual Studio and I have also tried building on a different user account.
According to a few sources on the internet the windows.props file should be located in the following directory.
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Phone
Kits8.1ReferencesCommonConfigurationNeutral
Its not located in that directory. But I did locate the Windows.props file in the following directory.
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Phone
Kits8.1DesignTimeCommonConfigurationNeutral
There is a Stackoverflow question similar to this but I couldn't find an answer that helped me.
Here is the information contained in my registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftMicrosoft SDKsWindowsPhonev8.1Install Path was set to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindows Phonev8.1
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftMicrosoft SDKsWindowsPhoneAppv8.1Install Path was set to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsPhoneAppv8.1
The complete error is
C:Program Files
(x86)MSBuildMicrosoftVisualStudiov12.0AppxPackageMicrosoft.AppXPackage.Targets(561,9):
error APPX1639: File 'Windows.props' not found. See

@Ramhound no the error only provides a <a hre="go.microsoft.com/fwlink/…>. I tried copying it from `C:Program Files (x86)Windows Phone Kits8.1DesignTimeCommonConfigurationNeutral` but it still gives the same error.

You have two options. Place the file indicated by the current registry value or change the registry value to the current location of the file. Can you please take 2-3 minutes and format the question so its not a huge block of text?

The build script is attempting to locate the file in the following locationC:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsPhoneAppv8.1and since its actually located inC:Program Files (x86) Windows Phone Kits8.1DesignTimeCommonConfigurationNeutralthe build script fails. Using the verbose logging would have indicated this.

I faced same issues for Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Repairing VS fixed the problem. I believe this issue is caused because the updates doesn't get installed properly for unknown reasons.
