Where is the HoloLens emulator installer?
I download the emulator installer from this page:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/install_the_tools
However, the 'EmulatorSetup.exe' that is downloaded does not appear to be the correct installer. When I run it, I see this:
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Don

@Don, you may have accidentally overwritten the SDK installer with the name of the emulator installer. It could also be a problem with your temp folders -- at one point I had to clear the temp folders in order to get the emulator to install correctly on my surface tablet.

Hi Don,
I just downloaded EmulatorSetup.exe from the location you linked to above. My window is quite different from yours, starting with the title. Are you sure you launched the right installer?

Interesting. I deleted the existing 'emulator_setup' files. I downloaded the installer, and use the 'Run' option at the bottom of Edge. Still had the same problem. I tried downloading the installer to the Desktop folder, and it worked. Thanks for all the tips.
