How to build a VS2017 C# project for UWP from the Unity2017.2.0b2

Unity Engine

Hi

I am a beginner to build up a self-made HoloLens app.
The setting in my computer did not alow me to build a VS 2017 project in the Unity environment, as the figure below shown.

  1. Both of the check box of Unity C# project and the bottom of Build was not enabled.
  2. In addition, the error of Currently selected scripteing backend (IL2CPP) is not installed also really confused me. Because I cannot figure out what thing has not been installed, and I can go where to find it. And then how to fix it.

Hope that I can get some helps or suggestions.
Thank you very much.

Looks like you have IL2CPP scripting backend selected in Player Settings. In the Unity installer, you can choose to install only .NET scripting backend, only IL2CPP scripting backend or both. You probably just installed .NET scripting backend. IL2CPP scripting backend also doesn’t support “Unity C# projects” option and that’s why it’s grayed out.

Thanks for your explanation. I can build a VS2017 C# project with UWP from the Unity2017.2.0b2

Have a nice day.
