XNA game does not compile on Windows 8.1

I recently moved my xna game project from a windows 7 computer to a new Windows 8.1 computer. I am still using Visual Studio 2010 Express. After overcoming the xna installation troubles my game cannot be compiled on the new computer.

The error message reads "This application cannot be started because of a false application configuration". See the manifest file for possible errors." However I cannot see anything wrong with manifest file. But I also don't know what is supposed to be in there.

If I start the compiled exe outside of VS 2010 a message box says "side-by-side configuration is invalid".

I picked this problem up after abandoning it for a while: I created a new xna project on the windows 8.1 computer and copying code and resources. Then it compiled fine.
