Unable to build MixedRealityViewCompositor dll from source using VS2017 or VS2015

[michaeldboyd]

I am trying to rebuild the dll's for the MRVC from the source C++ files, but I've run into a couple of problems. I'm not sure if the error exists within the source files, or between the chair and keyboard (most likely)

I opened the MixedRemoteViewCompositer.sln in VS2017, and tried to build the files based on the readme instructions. Here is the error that I get: 2>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10586.0\ucrt\corecrt.h(10): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vcruntime.h': No such file or directory 2>Done building project "Win32.vcxproj" -- FAILED. 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10586.0\ucrt\corecrt.h(10): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vcruntime.h': No such file or directory 1>Done building project "WSA.vcxproj" -- FAILED. ========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 skipped ==========

Has anyone run into this problem, or have any ideas on how to successfully build these DLLs?

I would like to use the MRVC as a jumping off point to send a live video feed from the hololens to a desktop application I'm building.
