Windows Universal App Development Template Load error

11,537

Solution 1

I had the same issue on Windows 10 in VirtualBox.

You must run the visual studio installer again. Select "Modify" in the Installer. Select Features > "Windows and Web Development" > "Universal Windows App Development Tools" > Click Update / Install.

Now you will be able to use the vs project template Windows IoT Core.

Solution 2

If such an error came up upon a project from a DirectX project template then make sure you have the UWP workload installed (from Visual Studio Installer).

Solution 3

Maybe you have xamarin for visual studio disabled. Select Tools > "Extensions en Updates" > "Xamarin For visual studio" > Click Enabled.

Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?' Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.

    it's quite annoying now just finished with the setup and when trying to build a "Hello World" Application with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise

    ---------------------------
    Microsoft Visual Studio
    ---------------------------
    Error: this template attempted to load component assembly 
    'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Universal.TemplateWizards, Version=14.0.0.0, 
    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. For more information 
    on this problem and how to enable this template, please see documentation 
    on Customizing Project Templates.
    ---------------------------
    OK

    Now I don't understand what wrong with it. I tried the comunity edition on Windows 8.1 and able to build the apps. but when trying with Enterprise Edition on Windows 10, nothing excepts Error.

    Can you provide the gist of the solution, rather than just including a link? Links can depreciate over time and the answer will be lost to future readers.
