Can't install Lync 2013 SDK with Skype for Business 2016

I'm trying to make a simple WinForms application that changes Skype for Business status (I'm using Skype for Business 2016). According to the links below, I should be able to install the Lync 2013 SDK (which I'm finding here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36824 ). But when I attempt to install it, it says Microsoft Lync 2013 not found. Go here to download and install: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=248583. Any suggestions? Do I have to also have Lync installed in order to interact with Skype for Business 2016?

Is Lync 2013 Client SDK compatible with Skype for Business?

No client SDK for Skype for Business 2016

Solution

  • This is a known issue. The current work around is to install with a Skype for Business 15 client and then do the client upgrade
