error MSB3774: Could not find SDK

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

I can’t seem to be able to create an app with Unity for the Universal Window Platform 10.
I’ve downloaded VS2015 from Windows Dev Center | Microsoft Developer and installed it, making sure “Universal Windows App Development Tools” was selected with the SDK. Then I’ve installed Unity 5.2.0f2 from Unity Editor Beta Releases

Then I create a new project in Unity with a simple scene that contains one spinning cube. It runs fine in the editor, so I switch platform to “Windows Store”, then when I build and run it SDK “Universal 10”, I get this error:

Exception: Failed to build Visual Studio project. Output:
UnityInstallationDir “C:\Unity\U-5.2.0f2\Editor”.
UnityWSAPlayerDir “C:\Unity\U-5.2.0f2\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\metrosupport”.

I’ve followed this tutorial to create a simple hello world in visual studio 2015 (so not in unity) to target UWP, and it works fine for me: Learn how to create a "Hello, World!" UWP app (XAML) - UWP applications | Microsoft Learn so I’m assuming I have installed the SDK properly…

I can’t figure out what’s causing the problem in Unity. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thomas

Known problem that we’re working on that VS2015 Final doesn’t work. We had been running (and still run) with the VS 2015 RC.

We’re trying to resolve it now.

Great thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Will you update this thread when the issue is known to be fixed, or how will we know?

Cheers,

Thomas

Cheers,

Thomas
