Building app from shared folder in Visual Studio Express 2012 - visual-studio

I'm trying to build an app from a shared folder in Visual Studio Express 2012.
While building an app from a local folder works just fine, the shared one doesn't. These are the errors thrown when building:
Error 1 Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app in the layout folder "\VBOXSVR\Repos\App1\App1\bin\Debug\AppX" failed. App1
Error 2 error 0x80073D55: Recovering DeploymentRequest from file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository\7b7fb2d4-65eb-45d3-808c-3e42a6eacbb4_S-1-5-21-1933965384-392669828-504697624-1001_1.rslc failed. App1
Instead of using a shared folder in Virtual Box, I've tried to setup a Samba share, which I've mounted as a network drive. Also, I used caspol to make the drive trusted using this technique: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/Network-drives-net-security-and-virtualbox.html
My host OS is Max OSX and my guest OS is Windows 8.
I look forward to hearing your suggestions. Thank you!

It's funny how you often find the solution right after you ask the question ;-)

Could not find SDK "WindowsMobile, Version=10.0.18362.0" error in VS17 when deploying to HoloLens

I'm new to HoloLens (and Microsoft's ecosystem) and am following this tutorial to learn. One of the steps is to deploy from Visual Studios to HoloLens, but when I try to I get this run-time error.
I have confirmed that I have followed this guide from Microsoft to set up my development environment, but my error still persists.
In Unity, these are by build settings and Player settings as instructed in the tutorial:
My Windows 10 computer is running on 1903, my HoloLens is on 1804, and I have both Windows SDK 10.0.17x and 10.0.18x installed on my computer (via Visual Studios installer and this link). I have also tested deploying the app using the 10.0.17x SDK, but end with the same results.
I can simulate my app from Unity using the Holographic Remoting app in HoloLens, but I just can't deploy it from Visual Studios. What is causing this error and how can I solve it?
Update:
I have tried re-installing the Windows 10 SDK (both 10.0.17x and 10.0.18x), but this did not resolve the problem. My Windows 10 SDK is installed in my D: drive if that would make any difference.
Update 2:
I read somewhere that if you simply delete those files from the project tree in Visual Studios, the error will go away. Indeed it did and I could build and run just fine after that seemly without issue, but there must be something wrong with deleting SDK files like that... Is deleting them safe?
Thank you for your help!
I managed to get this to work by deleting the reference to the Mobile SDK in the vxcproj file. It doesn't seem to be required!
App deployed to Hololens successfully!
According to the error message from the picture you post, there seems to be a problem with your Windows 10 sdk. Please check if the files in this directory are damaged (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Extension SDKs\WindowsMobile\10.0.18362.0), and try to reinstall the Windows10 SDK:https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk

Visual Studio unable to download installation files

I simply wish to install Visual Studio 2017 to compile a project.
Trying to install via the installer obtained from Microsoft fails after being unable to obtain the .opc file from aka.ms (found that after checking logs in %Temp%)
Moved to a full install version with all files and .opc file present. Installer still attempts to download from the web. Fails saying it is unable to download.
Tried running installed with --layout pointing toward the location of the offline files, same error.
Installed certificates from the certificates folder both in Personal and Trusted Root stores, no difference.
Tried starting CNG Key Isolation service, fails with error 1053
Microsoft support transferred me three times before saying the problem is on their end, so how, if one were to have no internet connection and evidently has all files required for install available, install this, if the installer stubbornly attempts to download from the web?
Is there a KB I am missing or some procedure I have to follow with the full installers?
In my case it is the network firewall blocking the downloading because the downloading involve not only main Microsoft visual studio site which is allowed in our network but also some url like https://aka.ms which is blocked by our firewall.the error is listed in c:\users\myusername\appdata\local\temp\dd_bootstrapper_xxx.log
It appears from what you have submitted you are attempting to download a offline copy of Visual Studio. It also appears that you are attempting to run the file originally downloaded to create the bootstrapper for the installation.
You want to instead launch the setup executable which is actually in the layout folder.
Hope this helps. ^^
Appears the cause for this was the service disclosure debug, disabling the debug, binding all services back into the svchost and after rebooting the service is working again. I have been able to install VS now.

Running Visual Studio with Elevated Privileges for Azure : any way to avoid the side effects?

I'm working on some Azure web apps, and in order to debug I'm running VS 2010 as Administrator (I normally right click the shortcut and run-as-admin, I'm aware that there are properties I can change or use Ctrl-Shift).
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio - The Windows Azure compute emulator must be run elevated. Please restart VS in elevated administrator mode in order to run the project"
If I do this, Azure simulator works OK, but I get two other side effects.
1) I can't drag and drop onto the solution explorer. This is a pain. (Ctrl C/V works but I can't drop whole files into the solution explorer)
2) I develop inside of a DropBox file structure. If I've developed on my desktop, and grab my laptop, projects in my Azure solution that are created within, and shared with, other non-azure projects fail to load. Edit: If I develop outside of dropbox, zip a copy into dropbox, unzip that on the new machine, its all fine.
3) I get "Could not load file or assembly. Access is denied" for various DLL's used by the project - I can fix this for individual DLL's by giving permissions to Network Service but I get the error for resource files too and the same trick doesn't seem to work.
This interworking between machines works fine without elevated privileges - I've been doing it for 2 years on about 20 projects without issue.
So is there a way of running just the compute emulator elevated, or some other way of avoiding these side effects?
OS Version Win 7 Pro SP1 X64
Azure Tools for MSVS2010 Platform v1.4 (11/04/2011)
Windows Azure SDK (11/04/2011)
Windows Azure SDK 1.4.1 Refresh (11/04/2011)
Windows Azure AppFabric SDK V1.0 (29/06/2011)
Consistent over all machines
EDIT: Having already given Network Service user all permissions to the entire folder structure to the project, I get the following error. Prior to doing that, the error was similar, but was for access to the DLL's in the project's bin folder.
Parser Error Message: Access to the path 'C:\Users\ Beko2011Azure\Website\App_GlobalResources\EditorLocalization.uk-UA.resx' is denied.
Source Error: [No relevant source lines]
Source File: /App_GlobalResources/EditorLocalization.uk-UA.resx Line: 1
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319;
As far as #1 goes, you can still CTRL+C and CTRL+V to the solution explorer. For everything else you described, the elevated priviliges are probably not the problem. This has especially nothing to do with Azure tools. I have them installed on several machines, and VS works elevated (I always use elevated mode because it's impossible to debug in IIS otherwise). I never had any problems with it.
The DLL/file access denied might be Dropbox's fault. Have you succesfully used this type of file structure in any other projects?
I have no idea what you meant by #2. What fails to load? Azure projects? And do you have the SDK installed on all machines? Same version? Did you mark a web site as hosted in IIS - this also prevents loading of projects.
Also, please update your post with: Operating system version, Azure SDK version...
Update: looking at your error message I can't help but wonder the problem is caused by Dropbox locking files that are needed, and these files then not being accessible by IIS when required. Could you try killing Dropbox service and checking to see if the application performs OK at that point?
As of Azure SDK 2.1 you no longer need to run the Emulator with Elevated privileges. See my answer here

Can't Create or Save File to Network Share in Visual Studio

I'm not certain when this problem started occuring, but it was approximately a few weeks ago when I upgraded from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010. I am on Windows XP Professional. The share is on a server running Windows Server 2003. I have a solution which contains a web site (accessed via UNC path, network share) and some class projects that reside on my local workstation. When I open a file from the website, and try to alter and save the file, I get the following error:
" Cannot access this file. Check security privileges over the network drive."
I've checked privileges on the root folder and I do indeed have full control. Could anyone give me any insight as to what I could be missing?
Are you running Windows Vista or Windows 7 with User Account Control (UAC) enabled? If so, Visual Studio 2010 requires administrator permissions to do certain tasks, including IIS management and network share saving.
Try opening Visual Studio 2010 with the Run as Administrator command. Hope that solves your problem.
Turns out a sysadmin removed all permissions and user profiles from a chunk of servers and forgot to inform me. Thanks for the insight, all.

step into web service on another LAN server

I'm debugging a vb.net windows program which I've upgraded to a VS 2010 solution, targeting Framework 2. I need to step into a webservice's code. The web service is framework 3.5, also vb.net, running on a windows 2003 server on our LAN. I've seen a ton of crap on the Net about it, mostly other people who couldn't get it working either.
The error I get in VS2010 is the exact same one I got before upgrading the project from VS 2005:
Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the server
machine [servername] failed. The Microsoft Visual Studio
Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be
running on the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance.
So I did what Help said to do and ran the VS 2008 remote debugging wizard on the host server. I have verified that the remote debugger is running as a service on that machine. And it still fails.
Little help? THANKS
Just in case anyone comes here looking for this answer, here it is. No goofy 'Attach to Process', no weird bad instructions
from websites going off on a million stupid tangents. This answer has been FALKENIZED.
When on the same LAN and on the same domain, remote debugging from Visual Studio 2010 works when you do the following steps.
on web service host machine, share the web application folder where the web service lives; give yourself 755 permissions.
oops, give yourself wrxr permissions.
on local development machine, map a network drive to the [web service host machine][web app] folder you just shared.
copy the Visual Studio 2010 remote debugger folder (containing msvsmon.exe + support files) to web service host machine.
Make sure you get the correct platform for your host server, e.g. x86, x64, etc. Remote debugger is found here:
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2010\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger[platform]
on web service host machine, drag a shortcut from the newly-copied debugger to the desktop, then start the remote debugger
on local development machine, step thru code. when reaching a call to the web service, you'll be prompted to navigate
to the location of requested web service code file, which will then be available in your mapped path. Do it.
Finally after 1000000 headaches, you may start debugging your web service. CONGRATULATIONS
