could not locate Android SDK path in visual studio enterprise 2015 - xamarin

Installed v 2015 enterprise edition.
Downloaded JDK ver 9.1 version for 64 bit.
Have files in this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\ for Android SDK.
Even after added that SDK path, it shows build a error as
Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio requires Android SDK. Please install it or set Android SDK path on Tools->Options->Xamarin->Android Settings menu.

Visual Studio 2017 does not detect Windows Driver Kit installation

I already have Visual Studio 2017 professional with Desktop Development with C++ installed.
I am trying to build the Virtual Serial project found here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/serial/VirtualSerial
When I try to build it, I get the error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsUserModeDriver10.0') cannot be found. To build using the WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools, please install WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". virtualserial C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets
I cannot find any instructions on installation aside from this website.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk
I downloaded the WDK for Windows 10, version 1803.
I closed VS2017 and ran the installer.
When running the installer I got the message in the screenshot below, I clicked Next to continue installing
After running the installer, the project still does not build, with the same error: WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 is not installed.
What am I missing during installation? Is this the correct installer for regular VS2017 (not community edition)?
Thanks,
I know this is old, but I recently fell into this rabbit hole. What worked for me was uninstalling all of the WDKs, rebooting, and installing WDK 1803 (the wdksetup.exe program downloaded from Other WDK downloads shows version 10.0.17134.1 in properties). That WDK installer specifically calls out VS 2017 when you add the Visual Studio integration at the end of the install process.
In my situation, I installed vs2022 with SDK 19041 and WDK 19041.
After some testing, I realized that VS2022 only supports WDK 22621(so on this date). So I installed WDK 22621 and SDK 22621, and problem solved.
If you still can't find Kernel Driver Build option, try run this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\VS2022\10.0.22621.0\WDK.vsix(WDK 19041 only has VS2019). It's a Visual Studio's extension.
According to this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/windows-wdk-on-visual-studio-2017-community/fdbd2b44-e57a-4849-903d-04001205a764
WDK is not currently supported by visual studio 2017.
This is ridiculous

How to find Android sdkmanager installed path in Windows with Visual Studio 2017

We are using Visual Studio 2017 (15.7.4 update) with Windows OS. We are facing issue on Android SDK manager installed path. Can you please suggest idea to get Android SDK manager installed path based on registry or command line?
Regards,
Dheepa
It should be in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android unless you set a particular path. You won't have any key on the registry since it a folder from which VS (or any other IDE) "uses" the Android SDK. You can give it a try checking in your Environment Variables if there is any path referring to the Android SDK, otherwise simply redownload the zip.
To work with Android Visual Studio installs openJDK in
C:\Program Files\Android\jdk
and Android SDK at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
You can find sdkmanager.bat at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\bin
It is recommended to add the bin directory to the system path.

Cordova build windows on Windows 10 and VisualStudio 2017

Trying to build the Cordova App on Windows 10 always fails with
(node:31) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): No valid MSBuild was detected for the selected target.
on Windows 10 Pro 1709 with VisualStudio 2017 Community Edition.
I exactly followed all instructions for Windows 10 in the cordova docs for windows
I have installed VS with package Mobile Development with Javascript which includes the cordova tools. I also installed the additional Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017.
To create the test app, I used the commands from the docs:
cordova create test
cd test
cordova platform add windows
cordova build windows
After hours of research, I found out the issue could be an active WindowsPolicy DisableRegistryTools, but this is not causing the issue. Reinstalling VisualStudio does also not have any effect. The error message is always the same.
Edit:
I just checked cordova requirements, I did not know that command before. This is the output:
Requirements check results for windows:
Windows OS: installed Windows 10
MSBuild Tools: not installed
MSBuild tools v.12.0 not found. Please install Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Update2 from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual- studio-vs
Visual Studio: not installed
Required version of Visual Studio not found. Please install Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Update2 from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
Windows SDK: not installed
Windows SDK not found. Ensure that you have installed Windows 8.1 SDK along with Visual Studio or install Windows 8.1 SDK separately from https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads
Windows Phone SDK: not installed
Windows Phone SDK not found. Ensure that you have installed Windows Phone 8.1 SDK along with Visual Studio or install Windows Phone 8.1 SDK separately from https://dev.windows.com/develop/download-phone-sdk
Error: Some of requirements check failed
If it is possible, I would try the required older version of VisualStudio. But the download is not available anymore.
I finally got cordova build windows and cordova run windows working by following this recently posted guide on the cordova blog.

Make sure to use cordova platform add windows#6.0.0
otherwise 5.0.0 will be added to your project, which is mostly incompatible to VisualStudio 2017.
Make sure to set MSBUILDDIR to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
Make sure to NOT use bash on Windows, otherwise Cordova will not recognize you are on a Windows operating system. So you have to use CMD or Powershell.
I also added these preferences to the config.xml
<platform name="windows">
<preference name="windows-target-version" value="10.0" />
<preference name="windows-phone-target-version" value="10.0" />
<preference name="WindowsDefaultUriPrefix" value="ms-appx://" />
</platform>
- If you still run into errors, try opening the project in Visual Studio and build there.
If you are using Ionic 3, you can use bash to run npm install, ionic cordova platform add windows#6.0.0 and ionic cordova build windows --prod to compile and copy to platform/www. But building the .appx package must be done with CMD using cordova build windows or cordova run windows
If the App style remains Android-like, add this config to app.module.ts
imports: [
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {
mode: 'wp',
})
],

Visual Studio Build for windowsphone error : (XapDeployCmd.exe) didn't found

I build and emulate my cordova app in android device and VisualStudio Android Emulator successfully in Visual Studio.
But when I try to build and deploy my app to windowsphone device I got this error that said the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" does not in %PATH%
ERROR: Error executing ""XapDeployCmd" /enumeratedevices":
'"XapDeployCmd"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
WARNING: XapDeploy tool (XapDeployCmd.exe) didn't found. Assume that it's in
%PATH% and deploy fails.
When I referred to the path that I must find the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment" I saw there is one file there: "XapDeploy.exe" and "XapDeployCmd.exe" is not there
so where is "XapDeployCmd.exe" ?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community With Update 3 and I installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0
Tools for Apache Cordova only supports deploying to Windows devices 8.1.
To deploy to Windows 8, you need Visual Studio 2013 which has a completely different project structure, and I don't recommend using it.
Most users who are on a version of Windows 8 tend to be on version 8.1
As I stated before، I had installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0 .
with installing Windows Phone SDK 8.0 , Visual Studio 2012 will be installed.
But the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" is not with this version of visual studio.
Installing Update 5 (update 2 or later) of visual studio 2012 will install "XapDeployCmd.exe" with itself. Visual Studio 2012 Iso and problem will be solved.
after solving this problem if you encounter with error like 'Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800' , refer to this article

Error building sample driver: An SDK corresponding to WDK version '8.1' was not found

I used one Windows Driver samples from github (Filesys) and tried to build it on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015.
I have installed both:
WDK8.1 with its SDK
WDK10
But when i try to build a project i see this error message:
An SDK corresponding to WDK version '8.1' was not found. Please install the SDK before building. minispy (Filter\minispy) C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\build\WindowsDriver.common.targets
but SDK of 8.1 is already installed.
Is there any option in Visual studio that i could use to point it to SDK 8.1?
I had the same problem and the solution
is sdk version 10 released after VS 2015 .
You should download and install it manually. I used the following link for downloading sdk :
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk
Also see this link for help with downloading and installing sdk
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jpwdkblog/archive/2015/08/21/windows-10.aspx
good luck
In this case, you may missed No.3.
Check following points:
Install Visual Studio 2015
Install Visual C++ (Not installed by default)
Install Windows SDK for Windows 10 (Not installed by default)
Install WDK 10 (Download separately)
Upgrade project from WDK 8.1 (for more detail: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt270257%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
Currently,
Visual Studio 2015 supports WDK 10.
Visual Studio 2013 supports WDK 8.1.
In my environment, Visual Studio 2015 may not support WDK 8.1.
When build in WindowsUserModeDriver8.1 with VS2015, an error was occurred: prop is not found.
WDK 10 supports build drivers for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 (/ 7?).
(see also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/dn914754%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
To build Windows 8.1 driver, follow below.
Open project properties
Navigate to Configuration Properties > General
Check: Platform Toolset Windows****ModeDriver10.0
Navigate to Configuration Properties > Driver settings
Check: Target OS Version: Windows 8.1
Check: Target Platform: Desktop (Default: Universal)
You are likely targeting the wrong platform toolset. To build a driver for Windows 10, you need to target one of the Windows 10 platform toolset (WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 or WindowsUserModeDriver10.0). If you want to use SDK 8.1, then you should use the WDK 8.1 platform toolsets (WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 or WindowsUserModeDriver8.1).
You cannot use the 10.0 toolsets and try to make them point to SDK 8.1 because there were some key changes to how files are laid on disk between the two kits. Using the appropriate toolset should hopefully fix the issue!
Have you followed all the instructions during the installation of VS? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx
After correct installation I have handled the problem.
(Optional)
Did you install Windows 10 SDK?
