You do not have Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 or later. Follow the instructions above to install the latest version, Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
You have Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 or later,
Hi I have the same problem downloading VS 2015 update 3 with same notification. The above answer did not help at all. Can someone help me to download Visual studio 2015 update 3. I will highly appreciate a stepwise solution. (I use windows 10 and do not have older version of VS 2015)
Even I am waiting on this. I am unable to install the Hololens Emulator.
Hi your log contains
This means that the Windows 10 SDK 10.14393 did not install because of protection to the main operating system, access has been denied as you cannot raise you privileges.
This has failed as you do not have administrator privilege and has been disabled by Education group policy on Windows
Contact your IT department and have them install this for you.
This sounds like a similar problem to those who have Visual Studio 2017 installed, but no underlying Visual Studio 2015 installation. The guidance here is to add some registry keys to override the prerequisites check, then try to install the emulator again.
