Unity not exporting Visual Studio correctly
Following the Holograms 100 tutorial returns errors.
I've followed the "Install the tools" procedure.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Unity and Window Visual Studio tools.
I'm getting the following warning and error on build per the tutorial directions.

Hi @HuGabe,
The first error seems to be referencing the newer Windows 10 SDK:
DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.14393.0\Platform.xml".
You may need to update Visual Studio to use the latest Windows 10 SDK (1.4.1):
1) Open Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
2) Right-click on Visual Studio > Change > Modify
3) Under Features, find the 'Universal Windows App Development Tools' section
4) Verify that 'Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393)' is checked. If not, check it now and then click next to install.
Also, be sure that NuGet is properly configured. In VS, go to Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > General, and then check the boxes for:
"Allow NuGet to download missing packages" and
"Automatically check for missing packages during build in visual studio"
The Tools and Window 10 SDK is already checked.
And NuGet is already properly configured.
What else should I check?
@HuGabe,
For comparison, here's a screen shot of my install:
At the top of mine, it says "with Updates". Do you have VS Update 3 installed? See this thread for links:
http://forums.hololens.com/discussion/1319/visual-studio-2015-update-3
I keep getting this error also. I set up an appointment at the Microsoft store today to see if they can help. I'll let you know if I can get an answer.
