Cannot run the HealthVault.Sample.Xamrin.UWP or UWP projects on the new Visual Studio 2017

[xtianus79]

I am trying to build and run the two following files... by the way tried to run the android flavor and it was in general a horrible experience and couldn't really get anything going via the emulator... I will post seperatly about that.

I tried changing these lines to the newer sdk

from this:

    <TargetPlatformVersion>10.0.14393.0</TargetPlatformVersion>
    <TargetPlatformMinVersion>10.0.10586.0</TargetPlatformMinVersion>

to this

    <TargetPlatformVersion>10.0.15063.468</TargetPlatformVersion>
    <TargetPlatformMinVersion>10.0.15063.468</TargetPlatformMinVersion>

And nothing works. the issue I get for example via the ubp app this is the respnose

one or more of projects require a platform sdk (UAP, Verision=10.0.15063.468) that iseither no installed or is included as part of a future update to Visual Studio...

or before manually changing the version it would say... Install missing features:

Headers, libraries, and tools for developing apps that run on Windows operating systems blah blah won't be able to run unless you install the above sdk.

I do try to install the sdk but it fails and my belief is that it isn't compatible with the new visual studio.

your help is appreciated

Something went wrong with the install.
