Debug windows app in visual studio


enter image description hereI am new to windows app and sorry if my question is very basic. I have a windows app(basically a web app) . I would like to open it and see in a emulator now.

  1. I have tried opening in Visual studio 2017. But i get debug error as (miDebuggerPath is not valid. I have installed the windows10 SDK.
  2. Also I am unable to see the emulator option in my IDE(nt sure if I am using wrong version)
  3. I also wonder if '.sln' file is the runnable file. It would be great if an one could help.

Solution

  • The .sln file is the solution file, is the one Visual Studio opens. The error tells you that the file Medinet.csproj that is a project file can't be opened, the solution is ok, but you have a project with problems, check if your visual studio have installed the options you need.

    In visual studio open Tools -> Get tools and features and check you have all you need like the Universal Windows Platform development and so on.
