Monkey Targets Forums/Windows 8/unable to compile

Hi
I'm trying to compile the Clock sample that came with monkey v78h into Windows Phone 8 and Window 8.
I am running Windows 8 (x86)

I can compile successfully in XNA, Android and HTML but Windows 8 is causing me problems.
I have installed Visual Studio Express 2013 and Windows SDK (after getting these errors and still get same errors)

Windows 8 output

(fxc.exe and msbuild.exe are part of the SDK and exist on my HD)
many thanks in advance

getting closer

After loading the .sln file into Studio, I had to repoint my project.
Only then could I build in Visual Studio

Heres how I solved the above.
The errors in Monkey Output console threw me. Not sure if that is standard for everyone or its because I had 8.1 SDK installed.

If you open the sln file in into Visual Studio (found in .build/winrt dir)
Right click on each project and retarget to 8.1 Silverlight
Build device as ARM

Some of my issues were down to that I downloaded libs for Windows 8.1 and project built for 8.0
Retargeting sorted that
