How to add MAT (Multililanguage App Toolkit) in a universal App - visual-studio-2013

I've installed the Multililanguage App Toolkit Version 3 on my Computer, but I couldn't find the "Enable Multililanguage App Toolkit" button. Does the Toolkit supports universal Apps or is there a walk around for this problem?
More Info: I use VS 2013 Update 2 on a 64 bit Computer.
regards,
Christian

I just installed the toolkit fresh. I had to restart Visual Studio to see it in the tools menu. But, yep, it's there. Have you restarted VS? I'm sorry, that is a stupid question to ask a developer. But?

How do I manage pairing Visual Studio to multiple Mac's?

I work from home and for my job I am using Visual Studio 2022 on Windows paired to a MacinCloud running Big Sur using my company's Apple Developer account for Xamarin development.
In the evenings, I'm playing with MAUI so I'm running the Visual Studio 2022 "Preview" version and I have my own Apple Developer account and my own separate MacinCloud running Monterey.
When I open Visual Studio (either version) it looks like it just tries to pair to the last Mac I used and then it also tries to install updated SDK's etc. if necessary.
How do I manage this? Ideally I want to stop it from auto-pairing and then choose the correct Mac each time.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Lonsdale.
You can open Tools - Options - Xamarin - iOS Settings on Visual Studio on Windows computer. On the Pair to Mac dialog window select "Forget this connection" (right click context menu on the connection).
This isn't really an answer but a workaround. The issue only really happens when both macs are running which is rarely the case. I will, in future, make sure that only the mac I need for the project I am working on is up and running. That way even if VS tries to connect to the other one it will fail.

Can't create a UWP app

I recently, upgraded to Windows 10 and got Visual Studio 2015 Community hoping to build UWP apps and ASP.Net 5 apps. At first, I installed everything, but ended up skipping / canceling the Windows 8.1 / 10 mobile emulators (my PC can't even run them). After everything was installed, I went to create a new UWP app (C#), and got this error:
Next, I try the same thing, but with JavaScript. It works perfectly! on the same UAP 10.0.0.0 that is supposedly missing. The link it provides is completely useless (it sends me to http:/microsoft.com/en-us) -_-. Oddly, this only happens when I try to use C# or VB.Net, JavaScript UWP apps seem to work fine. What is going on here? Where can I find the real link to the SDK I need?
UPDATE
JavaScript UWP apps will be create just fine, but when I attempt to build, I get:
Error "10.0.0.0" is not a supported value forTargetPlatformVersion.
Please change it on the Project Property page. Test
C:\Program Files (x86) \MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.\JavaScript\Microsoft.VisualStudio.JavaScript.UAP.targets
This is the download link for the standalone SDK, maybe reinstalling the sdk will fix the problem.

Normally you don't always have to reinstall visual studio when something goes wrong because it takes a lot of time to reinstall again. From your question you skipped/cancel that feature, the first thing to do is go to the control panel and double click on visual studio under programs to Modify the software and enable those features.
In the case, visual studio was working properly before but due to some updates it stopped, go to control panel right click the visual studio version you have under programs to repair.
If the above doesn't work try to reinstall it again. I hope this helps.

Is it possible to develop Windows 8 app using Visual Studio Express Windows Phone?

Is it possible to develop Windows 8 app using Visual Studio Express Windows Phone? The questions might look very silly, but I am very new to Windows app development. So please help.
Here you go, straight from the horses mouth. So yes!
Here is what you want, you can target both wp8.1and w8.1.
I remember you used to get the express alongside the w7.x sdk, terrible annoying if you were already sitting on pro or ultimate ;)
Hope it helps! (I would rather not install the expres on my computer as I already have ultimate installed, so I only trust what the article there says.)
Cheers,

Setting up the environment for Windows Mobile7 Application development with existing VS2010 Ultimate

I am interested in windows mobile7 application development and struggling with setting up the development environment. I found this DISCUSSED LINK.
(So it answered one problem that I had. I have already installed VS2010 Ultimate edition. I guess when I install Windows mobile7 SDK, it will install all the Windows mobile7 SDK tools without affecting the VS2010 that I have already Installed)
In my laptop I have windows7 64Bit operating system. Can someone please send me the steps that I should follow to make the environment to start windows mobile7 application development without affecting existing VS2010.
If someone can post the steps in sequence (including where I can find the SDK tools), Highly appreciated. Thanks inadvance...!!!
You can't install Windows Phone tools without affecting existing VS2010 installation. How would you create Phone apps without adding phone tools to the existing installation? Adding tools is an affect, is it not? Why worry about adding more tools? It's not going to take anything away from VS.
Download the tools from create.msdn.com. Run the Windows Phone tools, and start writing phone apps. It really is that simple. As for the tools installing the express version, I don't think so. I have ultimate, and looking through my file system now, there is only one devenv.exe, not a second one for express.

How to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" without installing Visual Studio?

Is it possible to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" on a machine without installing Visual Studio and Expression Blend?
The reason I am asking is that I want to install it on a build server.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce&displaylang=en
You can download and install the tools and then uninstall any options you don't require. Such as VS2010Express & Blend.
Unfortunately there isn't a better solution available at the moment.
Yes, that's exactly why downloads like the one you referenced exist - build servers, production servers have to build/run without Visual Studio.
Do you have specific needs here? I see the q is tagged for Windows Phone.
Online info about the Windows Phone developer tools seems to indicate that it's currently a bit of a work in progress. Don't see any obvious way to put this standalone on a build machine.
