Windows Universal App Development Template Load error

Question

it's quite annoying now just finished with the setup and when trying to build a "Hello World" Application with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error: this template attempted to load component assembly 
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Universal.TemplateWizards, Version=14.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. For more information 
on this problem and how to enable this template, please see documentation 
on Customizing Project Templates.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Now I don't understand what wrong with it. I tried the comunity edition on Windows 8.1 and able to build the apps. but when trying with Enterprise Edition on Windows 10, nothing excepts Error.

Answer 1

I had the same issue on Windows 10 in VirtualBox.

You must run the visual studio installer again. Select "Modify" in the Installer. Select Features > "Windows and Web Development" > "Universal Windows App Development Tools" > Click Update / Install.

Now you will be able to use the vs project template Windows IoT Core.

Answer 2

If such an error came up upon a project from a DirectX project template then make sure you have the UWP workload installed (from Visual Studio Installer).

above site said,

A workaround for this is to edit C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config and add to the section:

<dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Universal.TemplateWizards" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="14.0.0.0" newVersion="15.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>

Can you provide the gist of the solution, rather than just including a link? Links can depreciate over time and the answer will be lost to future readers. – Cinema
