Symptoms

Assume that you have some development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio interact with the Windows resource management system for Windows Store apps and associated SDK tools for certain application development processes. The components in the tools must inter-operate with certain components in the Windows Phone SDK. You use the tools to develop Windows Phone applications in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. In this situation, the resource management system cannot inter-operate correctly with the relevant Windows Phone SDK components and blocks Windows Phone application development.
