Hey Guys,

I was following the guide step by step and also the TroubleShooting part but after setting up everyhing in Plaform Settings I keep on getting this error message:

" Configuration Problem : Windows 10 SDK not found at path given in Windows UWP Preferences. "

Anyone with any sort of suggestions where I can check for errors?

First you should check File > Preferences > Platform Settings > Windows UWP. For VS 2017, it should look like this (both paths should exist):
  • Visual Studio Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat
  • Win UWP Tools Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\version\x64 (where version is the Windows version; it is currently 10.0.17763.0 for me as of the time of writing)
Then you should check Options > Windows UWP. The version from Win UWP Tools Location earlier on should be in these fields:
  • Windows Target Platform Version
  • Windows Target Platform Min Version

Ah thank you very much, it was my mistake I missed one library in the WIN UWP Tools location!

Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I'm here for the same problem.
In the first part of the solution I have this and it seems ok:

In the second part (where FrostyCat wrote "Options > Windows UWP") I see this:

The result is, again, " Configuration Problem : Windows 10 SDK not found at path given in Windows UWP Preferences. "
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

It's really annoying they don't fix the documentation

I went thru this all in October - lots of experimentation was needed to fix it

All help ever said was have you read this, have to read that - well, of course I did but if your instructions are wrong it's not much help is it?

What version of GMS2 are you using?
You probably need to install and use VS2019 and/or make sure you've actually downloaded/installed the SDKs as per the UWP Setup Guide.

From the UWP section of the Required SDKs Article:
  • 2.3.4 requires Visual Studio 2019 (Community Editions are fine to use).
  • 2.3.3 and older requires either Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017 (Community Editions are fine to use).
  • In 2.3.3 and older, Windows 10 SDK 10.0.14393.0 is the SDK we require rather than the latest version, but note that newer versions may additionally be required by some functionality/extensions in your project.
I'm using VS2019 and can compile to Desktop and Xbox fine.

My VS Location path in UWP Platform Settings is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat

The only way I could get it to work was to set the UWP Tools path to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64
Without that it reports that it can't find the SDK (which is the entry above that one)

You'll also need to set up a UWP Development device, see the section "Setting Up Your Windows 10 Desktop Device" in https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001100548-Setting-Up-UWP-For-Windows-10-Desktop

Finally make sure you change the Project settings (abc lots of times above) to something sensible. If you leave default values it'll keep trying to overwrite the same project over and over (it's not pretty)

Hi! I solved 5 minutes ago changing the link of Win UWP Tools Location in this way: solved.jpg
Now the game is running. Thank you very much!
