Can't Build from Source -- Component 'Windows' Not Found #30

Closed vingenuity closed 1 year ago

vingenuity commented 3 years ago

Howdy uwburn,

I cloned this project earlier this evening because I wanted to investigate adding hex color support. However, I've had a heck of a time getting the solution to build.

The base error I'm getting is: "The referenced component 'Windows' could not be found."

From what I can tell, this would be referring to the Windows 10 UWP APIs. I've attempted to install the latest Windows 10 SDK, but that has not resolved the problem.

Could you run me through how you have the references to the Windows namespace set up on your machine, so that I can get it building on my machine?

Thanks!

Hello @vingenuity, sorry, it took me some time to access back the project setup to check this.

The file i'm referencing is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\10.0.15063.0\Windows.winmd, the path looks like Win 10 specific, but something similar should be there from Win 8 era.

It's been quite a bit of time since i setted up the id (VS2017), so i don't recall correctly all the steps, anyway i'm having istalled the following:

Hope this helps.
