Error occurred while installing HoloLens Emulator (1st gen)
Hi,
I am having trouble installing emulator for HoloLens (1st gen). Here is the error message I get:
I have the latest version of Visual Studio 2019 installed and I had no trouble installing emulator for the HoloLens 2.
I reviewed the log file and found following error messages:
