Deployment Issue

[bbSkygazer]

Hi when I try and deploy your solution it comes up with an error that the application Is already running. I have attached a screenshot.

On investigation it occurs when AppService extension is use to replace the original background task deifintion. If I replace with the original definition it deploys but the AppService is not running.

<uap:Extension Category="windows.appService" EntryPoint="BackgroundHeadlessApplication.PerimeterBreachAppService">
      <uap:AppService Name="PerimeterBreachService" />
</uap:Extension>

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community and have also Tried Visual Studio 2017 Community.

Do you have any idea on how to resolve this?

I had the same problem. You need to remove the service that is already installed before trying to deploy.
I can advice you this link to remove the service
http://superuser.com/questions/1115801/unable-to-uninstall-universal-apps-through-powershell
because apparently it's not so easy to remove a service that has already been deployed.
Anyway, if you distribute the service using Visual Studio, it works always in my experience.
