I'm opening a solution which has a dependency on an outdated version of the Azure SDK such that Web PI wont install it.
This leaves me with the following error when I build the project:
WAT080 : Failed to locate the Microsoft Azure SDK. Please make sure the Microsoft Azure SDK v2.7 is installed.
What's the least amount of
steps I need to execute and
junk I can put into my environment
to make it load in VS and compile?
Navigate to the archived downloads page: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/archive-net-downloads/
Follow the trail via the appropriate Azure SDK for .NET (As of Mar 2017, v2.7.1 is here)
Click the download button
Select MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64.msi
Select MicrosoftAzureLibsForNet-x64.msi <- x86 is not useful
Select MicrosoftAzureTools.VS140.exe <- 14:- VS 2015
I downloaded and installed each separately
HACK: My installation of VS2015 was slightly mangled, so I was still seeing a message from VS offering to install the 2.7 tools. I was able to get over that by installing the latest (2.9 at time of writing) tools, whereupon I got a clean build. I'll be doing a clean reinstall of VS and will research whether that can be avoided

I have visual studio 2017 v2 and am trying to install the Azure functions extension. I have tried on a fresh vs install on a fresh PC as well as an older one. Each time I get the error message 'The extension cannot be installed to this product due to prerequisites that cannot be resolved'. It doesn't tell me what they are or what I can do to resolve the problem. How can I fix the problem?
Last I checked (a couple of weeks ago) the Azure functions extensions/tooling is only available with VS2017 preview.
You can install it alongside your other stable VS2017 install - see the azure functions blog.
I have this problem with the setup of Android SDK in Virtual Studio Community 2015. Whenever I try to install or repair VS, I always get problems with the setup of API Level 19 and 21,21 and 23. It always says that the packages were not downloaded and I should check my internet connection. However, my internet connection is working perfectly. I have seen many other users having similar problems, but none of the proposed fixes work for me. I have reinstalled VS twice and repaired it like 3 or 4 times. I checked my Java version and my proxy settings or tried installing them via the Android SDK Manager/alongside Android Studio. So far without any luck. I hope I have not overseen any fixes.
Unfortunately, the log is very long, so I can´t post it here (if you have any suggestions where I can post it, please tell me!). In the links you will find two screenshots of the error message I get.
Can you help me?
All I did was install Java SE Development Kit 8u151 from Oracle (Apparently VS 2015 uses Java 7 instead of 8) and then run VS 2015 as administrator and modify. The third party SDK's (19, 21, 23 & 22) were available and all installed correctly. Wish I had of known this before multiple installs and eventually a reinstall of my OS ...suppose I could have done with a clean slate though.
I was able to solved the problem above using the suggestion and comment of #Richard_Norton and #bugzapper from, https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/780c0b11-41da-4935-9ae5-dadf38292b51/android-sdk-setup-api-not-installed?forum=vssetup .
I uninstall the older version of Java SE Development Kit which is not Version 8.
I download and install the Java SE Development Kit Version 8 which you can get in here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html .
Then after that i modify Visual Studio 2015 to Install Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 and 21), and 23.
I Hope, this answer can help future someone who is encountering this kind of problem.
Refer to the error message, you can have a try with the following methods:
Open Android SDK Manager and click Tools-Options… and check the option “Force https://... Sources to be fetched using https://...” and try to download those android SDK packages again. If you already tried this before, you can ignore it.
Check this blog: Visual Studio 2015 install failures (Android SDK Setup) behind a Proxy and follow the steps as below to fix it:
• BEFORE installing Visual Studio, create a file at this location: %USERPROFILE%.android\androidtool.cfg
• In the androidtool.cfg file that you just created, place those contents that you can find from the blog. Make sure to update “http.proxyPort” and “http.proxyHost” in the file!
• Install Visual Studio normally
Have a look at this similar issue: Visual Studio 2015 setup issue with Android SDK – hack it!, if you found the same root cause: all google repositories don’t have this package anymore on your side, you can try to create your own repository contains this missing package and let Visual Studio setup “think” he download the package and unzip it successfully.
BTW, the installation log file can upload to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
Just start the SDK Manager from Visual Studio's menu (Tools/Android/Android SDK Manager...) and select the desired API level you do want and download them!
Anyhow, check with the SDK Manager, this is THE tool to get the Android SDK and at times you will need to update stuff through it!
I recently installed Visual Studio 2015 Community for universal app development, but when ever I create a new project and select the universal app under windows the error pops up saying:
"One or more projects requires a framework SDK(.NETCore v=5.00) that
is either not installed or is included as part of a future update to
visual studio"
In that error box there is a hyperlink mentioned to download the update but it goes right to the Microsoft website's home page.
I read some where to install the .NETCore via nuget package manager console. I have done that it was successful, but again whenever I create a new project it says to install the Framework SDk(.NETCore v5).
I haven't found any solution on this particular error but their were some tutorials to install the .NETCore but they didn't helped me out.
Kindly tell me how to get rid of this, I have wasted almost my 5 days trying to fix this issue.
i actually fixed that issue by First Modifying the setup of vs and their unchecking the Window Universal App development option. it means uninstalling the universal Window App development from visual studio then again modifying the setup i re checked the universal window App development option and update it. that fixed my issue.
You have to install the "Tools and Windows SDK."
I want to install Xamarin for Android Development in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.
While installing, Xamarin told me that I was missing a lot of features, so it would download and install them for me. The download size was around 2GB, and I have a really slow internet.
I wanted to know if there is a way to download Xamarin and all required components separately, using some download manager like IDM, and then be able to use it later to re-install/install on another PC.
Also, I was able to find offline setups for JRE and JDK, and also Android Studio and Android SDK/NDK, but still, the download size is around 1.5GB, which I presume is for the required Android SDK libraries, APIs and tools.
So, I am just asking for a guide on downloading all the components and store them for installing later.
According to the official docs (whose pictures are outdated, by the way) you should login to your account and then head to the download page where you could find links to different versions of Xamarin.
I did so, but all that's available there are older versions of Xamarin Studio and the universal installer. Similar searches on the Xamarin Forums yielded no results as well.
There's a way to find the direct URL for each installer by checking the XML used by the Platform Installer (located at \AppData\Local\Temp\Xamarin\downloads\InstallationManifest.xml). I haven't tested whether installing them separately will work or not, but it probably will. Just make sure to install them in the right order (and to install the Android SDK/NDK after installing Xamarin.Android)
Here are the links to the latest versions, as of today:
Xamarin.Android
Android SDK
Android NDK (x64)
GTK#
Xamarin Studio
Xamarin for Visual Studio
It'd be good if someone with a Mac could help me find the URL for Xamarin.iOS, but that's a start :P
You can download this XML file and find the link of latest version of all required components.I did this and the latest links are :
Java JDK 1.7
Android SDK 24.4.1
NDK 10 (32) or NDK 10 (64)
Xamarin for Visual Studio 2015 4.1.2.18
Intel HAXM 6.0.1
Microsoft MSBuild Tools 2015.0
You don't even need to login for download them.
After 1st web install, backup %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\ , then on a new Windows:
Uninstall Java 1.8 if exists.
Manually install Java JDK 1.7u71 + GTK# + Android SDK (Install for anyone).
Extract NDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-ndk-r10e", or make NTFS junction to it (not to run out of C: space later).
Run XamarinInstaller having just *.zip files in %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\, when you see that current download is "XamarinStudio", disconnect Internet (you can delete the NDK now).
When you see above the progress bar: "Downloading Xamarin Studio", you can close the web installer.
Manually install Xamarin.VisualStudio, and if you want, XamarinStudio.
Step 4 require Internet, but noting to download.
To make NTFS junction, from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android" prompt:
mklink /j android-ndk-r10e T:\android-ndk-r10e
where T: can be USB drive, but not Network drive.
I know it's a link only answer (copyright!), but there are step-by-step instructions including screenshots of how to do that:
Installing Xamarin Made Easy with Offline Installation
I've not tried it, but it should help you.
Found this:
http://ionemind.com/content/get-direct-download-links-xamarin
Links to XML files with direct links to necessary components for Xamarin, including Xamarin for Visual Studio (version 4.5, for VS 2013 and 2015).
Another link I found:
https://dl.xamarin.com/XamarinforVisualStudio/Windows/Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.8.0.1289738.msi
I had installed Xamarin Studio 5 and then it autoupdated its components (to Xamarin Studio 6.3 and the mentioned VisualStudio Tools 4.8).
Then in the "AppData/Roaming/Xamarin X.X" I found a folder for temp downloads. There was the MSI file.
Then I just searched for this exact MSI name to get a direct link.
(on this site https://itblogdsi.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-23.html)
There's actually some info about releases and MSI names and it has Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.9.0.1538920.msi so replace this part in the MSI link above.
It's for VS 2015 only.
I've just installed the April 2015 release of the Azure SDK. It is version 2.6 and previously I was on 2.5. Now one of my projects will not load. It is the shared project in a Windows Universal application.
When I right-click the project and choose 'reload' I get the pop-up error
The method or operation is not implemented
The output window gives more detail:
Things.Shared.shproj : error : The composition produced a single

The other parts to the Windows Universal app (the Windows 8.1 project and the Windows Phone 8.1 project) have two Azure NuGet packages installed: Windows Azure Mobile Services 1.3.2 and Windows Azure Storage 4.3.0. (N.B. Those two projects load without issue.)
This is not a show stopper for me since uninstalling the Azure SDK 2.6 removes the load failure. To uninstall I go via the Control Panel to 'uninstall or change a program' and then uninstall Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 - v2.6
I would like to know how to fix this without uninstalling the Azure SDK 4.6.
Over on the Azure Mobile Services forum Chuck Weininger has posted the following answer:
The [fixed] build of Azure SDK 2.6 is now available, but it may not have
propagated to all download servers yet.
You can run the Web Platform Installer and if you don’t have the new
build installed, it should allow you to install 2.6 again. But it
might not if you are accessing a download server that doesn’t have the
new bits yet. If WebPI doesn't allow you to install 2.6 again, then
wait a few hours and try again.
The build number for the version with the fixes is build
2.6.30508.1601. You can identify the build of the SDK from Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft
Visual Studio 2013 – v 2.6. The Version column will display the build
number
I have followed Chuck's instructions and have the new build and the shared project now loads without issue.
We have been able to reproduce the issue, but don't have a workaround at this time. If you want to use the Universal App projects with VS 2013, you will have to uninstall Azure SDK for VS 2.6. The issue does not happen on VS 2015 RC if you would like to give that a try. We hope to have news soon about how we can get a fix for this issue on VS 2013.
