I am currently working on a UWP application using xamarin and everything has been going well and have now all of a sudden gotten the error below.

1>C:\Users\WiandeJager\.nuget\packages\microsoft.net.uwpcoreruntimesdk\2.2.14\tools\CoreRuntime\Microsoft.Net.CoreRuntime.targets(238,5): error : CopyWin32Resources failed with exit code 500

I have tried

  • repairing, reinstalling and upgrading VS.
  • updated Windows
  • reinstalled and upgraded nuget packages

I did have some luck when repairing VS and upgrading microsoft.net.uwpcoreruntimesdk. But a soon as I make any changes no matter how insignificant, I get the same error.

  • It might be related with the Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform Nuget Package. The uwpcoreruntimesdk is a dependency of Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform. Could you please try to downgrade Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform to 6.2.12 or lower to see if this works?

  • Another question is that will a blank project show this error?

  • Thanks for the response @Roi, tried downgrading Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform and still no luck and yes I get the same error on new and blank UWP projects.

  • If it happens even within a blank project, I'd suggest you report this via VS Feedback because it seems to be more related to Visual Studio itself

  • Turns out it was he companies anti virus blocking access to a specific file path.
