Not compatible with Visual Studio 2017? #38

Open MiMqz opened 7 years ago

MiMqz commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to complete Lab 1. The only available install of VS is 2017. When installed (with the Windows 8 SDK extension), a universal app does not seem to be possible -the WindowsPreview.Kinect reference is grayed out (along with all the other Kinect references). If selected, when building the solution an error is presented -something along the lines of "WindowsPreview.Kinect" references for "Microsoft.VCLibs Version 12" which references "Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Package for Windows Universal Version 12". While version 14 is available to reference -I cannot find an extension SDK to install that makes 12 available; and referencing 14 does not resolve the error.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is VS 2017 simply not compatible?!

Thank you.

These labs were written for Visual Studio 2013 and Windows 8.1. There is some work required to bring them up to date with Windows 10 and VS 2017. If you (or anyone) wants to help contribute back to update the labs that would be great.

I'd be happy to update the tutorial -but I need some help getting started. I don't know if I'm waiting on library updates for UWP app development, or additional SDKs. Or anything else for that matter.

Visual Studio 2013 Community Update 5 is still available. I had the same unresolvable problem as you MiMqz so I'm currently downloading and installing it to see if I get any further. Ive managed to get all the SDK V2 code examples working in Windows 10/ VS 2017 but a fair bit of mucking around updating them, it didnt happen automatically at first . Also finally Windows 10 prompted me to go into "developer" mode which previously I gather, the package manifest grants granular permissions to hardware resources like camera and microphones. Open Source drivers for the Kinect had no luck but this is a big learning curve after decades out of IT, and just a little VB development. Avoided C++ like the plague.

Hey, I recently started looking into Kinect and found this tutorial. But I am using VS 2017 and I can't seem to give Win 8.1 as the target platform. Any ideas or suggestions? I am able to run any code since it shows that the SDK is not compatible.

Hi everyone. I updated some of the tutorials from this repository. They are working on Visual Studio 2019 as of today August 2021. I also created the step-wise tutorials.
