Build Errors using Xamarin and Visual Studio 2012

Question

I'm trying to get Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8 and using Xamarin. My android sdk is installed and identified in Visual Studio 2012. Xamarin account is verified. I have administrator privileges on the PC.

When I try to build the generic Android Application (Hello World) that comes as a default template I get the following error:

Access to the path 'resources.apk.bk' is denied.

When I rebuild I get the above error plus

The directory is not empty.

I've search around for this a lot. I'm going to post to stackOverflow but thought you might be able to help.

In addition I get the following warnings: Could not find schema information for the element 'manifest'.
Could not find schema information for the element 'uses-sdk'.
Could not find schema information for the element 'application'.

Trying to build good projects from my colleagues yield similar results.

Are you running an Anti-virus application? Most likely you are. When I first started using VS2012 I had similar issues. Our corporate developer installations separates a particular folder(s) from the anti-virus. Moving all project related files there solved the problem.

Right click the Project and click properties. Check the Compile using Android version it should be less or equal then your Android API version.
