Error in Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) stand alone Installation

Question

While I want to write an app for Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry Pi 3 B I need to install Visual Studio 2015 Community with Windows SDK on a Windows 10 PC.

I already have a Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015 installed and downloaded Windows SDK 10 stand alone but when I click on sdksetup.exe I encounter this error :

Some Features already installed on this computer are missing from the downloaded setup package.

Download the folowing features before retrying setup on this computer.

• OptionId.WindowsSoftwareLogoToolkit
• OptionId.WindowsSoftware DevelopmentKit

I am a bit confused. Why does it need to have packages that it says already installed and the thing is I want these packages to install I don't have them yet!

I will be appreciated if any body can help me and I will send any extra information if needed.

I had the same issue. I downloaded Windows SDK 10 stand alone with only Debugging Tools as selected. Deleting UserExperienceManifest.xml did not solve my problem. I resolved the issue by performing following steps.

• Install following installer(.msi) files, located in Installers folder near sdksetup.exe, by double clicking themone bye one.

  1. \Installers\SDK Debuggers-x86_en-us.msi
  2. \Installers\X86 Debuggers And Tools-x86_en-us.msi
  3. \Installers\X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi

• Confirm and verify whether C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x86\cdb.exe are created with all other binaries.

• Now, open QtCreator. Go to Tools | Options | Build & Run | Debugger tab.

• Verify above cdb.exe files paths are listed under Auto-detected section.

Debugging starts working after this.
