I'm trying to work from home on a UWP project, on a macbook with dualboot using windows 10, in visual studio 2015.

(So it's not on a virtual machine, which is what I find everywhere when looking for this problem)

I thought I have everything correctly set up, but when I try to run the project, I get the error:

Error DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Rejecting a request to register from AppxBundleManifest.xml because the manifest is not in the package root. (0x80073cf9) Ambiorix.UWP

Windows is set to developer mode, and I have the windows 10 anniversary update installed. And the file Package.appxmanifest is in fact in the root of the project. Which I was told is the manifest it is complaining about (or contains it? I don't know much about manifest files)

I have no clue at to what might be causing this, any help much appreciated.

If you need more info, just tell me, I just don't know what else to add.

In my case, app was installed by another user. After deleting it, error was gone.
