Error 1603 installing Win10 SDK

[Shep]

Anyone else having this problem? I'm trying to install the Windows 10 SDK for VS2015 so I can get developing with my Pi, but it's giving me this error any time I try to install it:

[attachment=0]Error.png[/attachment]

If I click on "Common issues and workarounds", it brings up a page that doesn't list this error. Two relevant sections in the log file:

Code: Select all

Way early on, and later this:

Anyone else have this problem before, or know how to fix it? I suspect the first one is due to Windows Update (it's trying to install a driver, but a newer version is already installed, so it continuously fails), but the second I can't seem to get around for the life of me.

Hi,

There is a post on the Microsoft Support site here which may help? Are you using the Windows 10 Technical preview or something different?

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... um=vssetup

What specification is your PC - Not sure why but it seems to need HyperV support.

Running Windows 10 Home Technical Preview on my Asus U47A, but HyperV isn't even an option in Windows. It's enabled in the BIOS (just checked to verify also), but the option doesn't exist in the "Add or remove Windows Features" dialog, and I can't figure out why not.

Prior to installing VS did you fully update W10, under Updates you need to change to "Fast Ring" t get latest:

Though to be honest this is not a Raspberry Pi issue, but a Windows Issue which sholud be resolved via the appropriate MS Forum

Yes, although that post is from January and there's no difference in updates available today.

From the sticky:

this forum is for discussing the use and programming on Win10 IoT for the Raspberry Pi.

Emphasis mine. Which applies to this thread. I'm trying to program my Raspberry Pi via my laptop, both of which are on Windows 10 IoT, but am running into issues.

[fruitoftheloom]

The version of Windows 10 I have installed and updated is now:

Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview
Evaluation copy. Build 10074


Visual Studio was downloaded from https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads ... oper-tools

Microsoft Blend for Visual Studio Community 2015 RC
Version 14.0.22823.1 D14REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.00057

Installed Version: Blend

It sounds like you've been able to get setup for development, but just in case you are still seeing an error it's possible that the SDK did not get installed correctly. For that we do have a suggested work-around:

Can you follow the steps here: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/win10/SetupPC.htm

We have had some customers report installation issues with the previous step. As a workaround, please go to the Windows Developer Tools Preview page here https://dev.windows.com/en-US/downloads ... oper-tools, scroll down to the bottom of the page to the “Other download options” section and install “Standalone Windows 10 SDK for Windows 10” and “Microsoft Windows 10 Emulator for Mobile”.

Nope, still having issues.

Stuck on bullet point #2 there.

Running into issues with that too. I saved the standalone SDK installer, and when I ran it, it downloaded some things to [[ C:\Users\****\Downloads\Windows Kits\10\StandaloneSDK ]]. Running the "sdksetup.exe" file, I immediately get this message:

SDK.png (9.72 KiB) Viewed 4440 times

Which, unless it installed that quickly, isn't accurate. Now what?

Given the errors it's possible you're seeing this issue because your system doesn't support Hyper-V:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... um=vssetup

Please try running the installer for the emulator separately, you'll be able to find the location for it in the log file you just posted, there will be an entry that shows the cached location.

That's the thing -- it's enabled in the BIOS, but I don't see anywhere to enable it in the OS. It's not under the Windows features section like it should be, so I can't enable it and I'm not sure why.

Looked through the log file for something obvious, but didn't see anything -- any keywords I can use to search for it?

[jtanner_msft]

Can you complete the install of everything else and just skip the emulator installation section? If that works then you should be able to start building and deploying to your Rpi2 device.

Hmm, so the SDK is for the emulator only? Didn't realize that. Okay then, I tried going on to the next step, which reads:

Install WindowsDeveloperProgramForIoT.msi. It can be found inside any of the Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview Image files (for example, Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview Image for Raspberry Pi 2.zip) here

But when I click the link, it takes me to this page, which looks like this:

Downloads.png (12.52 KiB) Viewed 4356 times

Regardless of what choice is selected prior to clicking the Filter button. I thought the links might just be invisible in Chrome, so I tried the new Project Spartan browser, and same thing happens there too. Where can I find the WindowsDeveloperProgramForIoT.msi file if it's not on that page? Is there a mirror for it somewhere?

By the way, thank you for taking the time to help me out here! I really, really appreciate it!

Hi Shep,

I’m sorry that you are having these setup / install problems.

What I was trying to say about the SDK install is that in addition to installing the headers and libs that you need to build applications, it will also be trying to install the emulators. If you have a real device to deploy to, you shouldn’t need the emulators so that would be a step you could skip as a work-around for the time being.

As to why you’re not able to find ‘WindowsDeveloperProframForIoT.msi’ it’s probably because you have not self-nominated yourself for the IoT program. Once you do and accept the EULA then you should see a list of packages that you can select from to download. Here is the self-nomination link:
https://connect.microsoft.com/windowsem ... ramID=8558

I hope this helps.

I never cared for debugging on emulators. Generally they're slower and bulkier than the real thing (at least, from my mobile development experience anyways), so I've always opted to have a real device handy to test to.

It does! Just got through the rest of the steps without a hitch! Thanks a million!

I'm glad to hear you're unblocked now. Have fun trying out Windows 10 IoT Core.
