Unable to deploy WinJS apps

I'm working on a WinJS app which works perfectly on one particular Windows 8 image, but will not deploy on another that we use.

Attempting to run any WinJS project from visual studio results in the following error:

Error      1              Error : DEP0800 : The required framework 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0\1.0
\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.appx" failed to install. 
Deployment Add operation on Package Microsoft.WinJS.1.0_1.0.9200.20602_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
from:  ([path])  failed with error 0x8007065E. See ]link] for help diagnosing app deployment 
issues.

Attempting to sideload the app doesn't work either, producing a similar error about the WinJS dependency not being resolved.

Any ideas?

Try changing the package identifier in the manifest and see if that helps.

Is this the application already on the machine? When updating an existing application, I've run into this a few times and first uninstalling from the target machine and then deploying from VS works.
