How can I target Windows 10 IoT Core 17763 in a Visual Studio Project?


My current version of Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard (1.0.1810.11000) allows for setting up a device with version 17763 of Windows 10 IoT Core.

In Visual Studio 2017 (15.87) though, I only have the option to target 17134 in my Universal Windows project (on the Application tab in the project settings page).

I worry about issues related to inconsistent versions. Is this justified? Or can I expect these versions to work together seamlessly?

I considered trying to get the IoT Dashboard to target the older version that Visual Studio is using but from what I understand, it will pretty much just keep jumping to the latest version with no option to target older versions. I saw somewhere that Windows IoT Enterprise allows for more control over versions. Do I need to go down that path if I want consistent versions between the Dashboard and Visual Studio? This comparison would indicate that Core would otherwise be the best choice for my requirements?

Ideally, I would like some means of getting Visual Studio to target the new version. Is this possible? How would I do that?


Solution

  • After installing the Windows 10 SDK, I was able to select version 17763 as the target version in Visual Studio.
