Cause

This issue occurs because Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 was installed after the Windows Phone Software Development Kit (SDK) 8.0 was installed. Therefore, the following files were deleted:

• %programfiles%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile49\System.Net.dll

• %programfiles%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile49\System.ServiceModel.dll

• %programfiles%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile78\System.Net.dll

• %programfiles%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile78\System.ServiceModel.dll

Workaround

To resolve this issue, run the Visual Studio 2012 repair program. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Programs and Features.

2. Right-click the version of Visual Studio 2012 that you have installed, and then click Change.

3. Click Repair when the Visual Studio 2012 Setup wizard opens.

Note If you set up a new developer environment, to avoid this issue, you should install Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 before you install the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK.
