So, I was able to fix my problem on my local PC, but since then I needed to switch on over to a VM that is running Window7. To my surprise the problem came back, but only on the VM. This is very disturbing especially when the folder containing all of the source code was copied from the PC, which works. What would cause this problem from one machine to another??
Up to my eye balls with frustration, I decided to take on another path, which was create a new BA project and call it testBA instead of wixBA. I'm successfull in building my project, but ran into the same problem as before where I cannot view the RootView.xaml file only this time I'm, receiving another error.
