Cannot Connect To Windows 8 Store, WWAHost.exe Failing?

Hello All,

For some reason I cannot connect to the Windows 8 store. When I start the app I get the familiar green background but it just hangs waiting.

I checked my log files and it looks like the application WWAHost.exe is failing. I am not exactly sure what this process is for but I searched it and found out that it has something to do with the Windows 8 Store. I also have a log indicating that package  winstore_1.0.0.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy was terminated. I suspect this is also related to the Windows 8 Store.

Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi John (?),

 

I haven't put together a batch file or tool for this procedure. That's something that support would do, after we've gathered some evidence as to cause and effect. Could you follow this sequence below, and send the results? Commands to type are in bold.

 

Thanks,

Paul

 

PS: Here's how to copy/paste to/from a Command Prompt window, if you don't know how: http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-copy-paste-text-from-cmd-or.html

 

1. At the start menu, type cmd.exe. You will see "Command Prompt" in the results list. Right-click on it. A context menu-bar will show up at the bottom of the screen. Click on "Run as administrator". Click "yes" to the User Account Control prompt. Command shell will start.

 

2. Let's see your LOCALAPPDATA setting. Type...

C:\>set LOCALAPPDATA
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local

 

3. Let's see the contents of the WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy folder. Type...

 

C:\>dir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy"
 Volume in drive C is System
 Volume Serial Number is CE28-C1D0

 Directory of C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy

03/18/2013  11:24 PM    <DIR>          .
03/18/2013  11:24 PM    <DIR>          ..
03/18/2013  11:25 PM    <DIR>          AC
03/18/2013  11:24 PM    <DIR>          Settings

 

4. Do you have the AC folder? If not type...

 

C:\>md "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\PRICache"

 

5. Now check the ACEs (Access Control Entries) in the ACL (Access Control List) for the AC the folder. Type...

 

C:\>icacls "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC"
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC S-1-15-2-2608634532-1453884237-1118350049-1925931850-670756941-1603938316-3764965493:(OI)(CI)(F)

                                                               Mandatory Label\Low Mandatory Level:(OI)(CI)(NW)
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

 

6. Do you see the S-1-15-2.... and "Mandatory Label\Low Mandatory Level" ACEs in the list? If not, type...

 

C:\>icacls "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC" /grant *S-1-15-2-2608634532-1453884237-1118350049-1925931850-670756941-1603938316-3764965493:(OI)(CI)(F) /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)L
processed file: C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

 

6. Try to launch the Store app
