Building Windows 8 project fails
I want to build a Windows 8 project (https://github.com/igorkulman/AutoCompleteBox). I use FAKE to do the building, so I set build.bat as the build script. The build script starts but fails with
"C:\projects\autocompletebox\AutoCompleteBox\AutoCompleteBox.csproj" (Build target) (1) -> C:\projects\autocompletebox\AutoCompleteBox\AutoCompleteBox.csproj(143,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsXaml\v12.0\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.CSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Is building Windows 8 apps not supported?
Another issue us that the build script with this failure never stops, I have to cancel it manually.

Hi Igor,
To support building Windows Store apps we'd need to install Visual Studio Express for Windows (http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs...) which strictly depends on Windows 8.1.
Right now we offer only one OS for build server - Windows Server 2012, however we are planning to add Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 pretty soon. Looking at recent announcements from Microsoft made on Windows Build I think demand for building Metro apps will grow and we have a strong commitment to support it. Stay tuned!

Are there any updates on this?
