Windows App Certification Kit - GetCorSvcBindToUnregisteredWorker

I'd seen a lot conern about the Windows App Certification Kit especially in NGenTest while looking around for a solution.. Shortening the package name didn't work for me and I have not yet submitted any apps in the Marketplace. I am not using any 3rd party libraries other than "Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows 8" But here's my test result in Performance_Test__trace_Launch_1192012_101737.txt.

If you look at the NGemTest, there's something wrong with GetCorSvcBindToUnregisteredWorker and I couldn't find any solutions for it. Have you guys encountered this before? What do you think was the problem?

I am using:

• Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation
• Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8

The error code returned from the NGen worker process indicates "Could not read key from registry", though it isn't clear what registry key it was attempting to read when it failed. I'd suggest you to use Process Monitor (procmon.exe, which can be installed from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645) to record all registry accesses from the NGen worker process (mscorsvw.exe process), to see which one of them failed. Once this is found out, we should be able to figure out how to resolve it.

I'd love to hear from you and know what Process Monitor reveals.
