I am new to Holographic DirectX11 development. I have windows 10, VS 2015 enterprise version, and emulator installed. I followed the steps at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/creating_a_holographic_directx_project

However, when I try to create a new project in VC++, there is no option for "Windows > Universal > Holographic node and select Holographic DirectX 11 App (Universal Windows)."
My screen looks like this.

  • Just trying to guess the answer here.

    Did you install the latest VS2015 Update 3? I also remember that during the installation some additional features had to be enabled in the installer (it seems plain installation with all defaults might not be enough):

    Quote from the tools page: If you choose a custom install, ensure that Tools (1.4) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) is enabled under Universal Windows App Development Tools node.

    So re-running the installer should allow you to add the missing features.

  • thank you for the reply. I did full installation of VS 2015 update 3. Just to be sure, I did fresh installation of Windows 10 and re-installed VS 2015 this morning. Still thesame, any clue? Thank you....

    any clue?

  • I just figure it out. I have to run VS 2015, instead of Blend for VS 2015. The options show up. Thank you.
