Hi Ike,
    Thanks for reporting the issue.
    The compiler fails to give the following error:

error C4400: 'const TestComponent::RasterColor' : const/volatile qualifiers on this type are not supported

    A fix for this issue has been checked into the compiler sources and you will get the above error.

    In the meantime, please remove 'const' in the following code (or you can change the function to 'internal'). 'const' is not supported in winmd.

static String^ GetStringDescription(const RasterColor color);

I simplified the problem with the attached project.

I've tried on a 2nd computer, to make sure that it was not a hardware or operating system install issue.
This is now officially a blocking issue for me. I cannot continue my development for WinRT until this is resolved.

Also, after several of these C1001 errors, I then get this:
1>cl : Command line error D8040: error creating or communicating with child process

If you remove the "const", then the error / crash goes away.
