You cannot connect to a remote device for Windows App Certification in Visual Studio 2013 RC

Symptoms

When you try to set up a remote device for app package validation by using the Windows App Certification Kit Remote Configuration tool (PrepWinACK.exe), Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Release Candidate (RC) cannot connect to the remote device.

Cause

This problem occurs because Visual Studio 2013 RC installs a version of PrepWinACK.exe that installs an older version of Visual Studio Remote Tools that is not compatible with Visual Studio 2013 RC. This prevents Visual Studio 2013 RC from connecting to the remote device.
