I have problem with Visual Studio 2012 (OS: Windows 8.1 Preview)

  1. Create empty project (Windows Phone App)
  2. Press F5 to start debugging.

And I get 0x80131500 error code, with no detailed description. Only this: Deployment of application to device failed.

Output:

1>------ Deploy started: Project: PhoneApp1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>Deploying C:\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\PhoneApp1\PhoneApp1\Bin\Debu\PhoneApp2.xap...
1>Connecting to Emulator WVGA 512MB...
1>Deployment of application to device failed.
1>0x80131500

Has anyone encountered such a problem. How it can be solved?
