build error
Hi I am getting this error when I try to build my project
Could not start compilationDirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.14393.0\Platform.xml".

Hi @Ixd20,
You should double-check that you are running the latest version of Visual Studio (Update 3) and that the optional 'Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393)' was installed.
Hi, I'm having the same issue actually. I have checked both "Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393)" and "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586)" options during the Visual Studio setup, but still receive the identical build error to @lxd20 . I have even tried reinstalling Visual Studio again from scratch with these options selected.
It appears that C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.14393.0 does not exist on my drive but C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.10240.0 does exist. Does anybody know how to correct this?
Just a shot in the dark but did you guys install the hololens emulator. 10.0.14393 matches the emulator version number as well. If so maybe hyper v issue...Note: Your system must support Hyper-V for the Emulator installation to succeed.
don't know anyone? i occured too.
I'm having the same problem.
I've verified installation of everything mentioned in this thread.
Does anyone have the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.14393.0\Platform.xml" file? Maybe just dropping it in will at least bring us to the next error?

Hi @HUGabe,
Can you provide a screen shot of your VS installer? Whenever I choose to update to a newer SDK, I also uncheck any of the versions that say 'deprecated' next to them. I updated my machine to the newer SDK yesterday and I do have the .xml files on my PC (attached).
Thank you for sending the attachment! I'll try it out and let you know how it works.
Yes, I did uncheck the 'deprecated' version of python tools but there were no other 'deprecated' notifications.
Hi @ahillier , I copied the files you sent to the UAP folder and I was able to at least build the Visual Studio files. Still working on getting it running on the emulator.
@HuGabe,
You might want to uninstall the emulator and then reinstall the latest version from the tools site. Also, if you delete the emulator VM in Hyper-V Manager, it should be recreated when you next start the emulator from VS. This can sometimes help fix configuration issues with the emulator.
