Monogame: Can't create new Windows 10 UWP app

[JranZu]

Similar issue to: https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/issues/4435 however uninstalling & reinstalling the Universal Windows App Development Tools did NOT solved the issue. I am able to create & publish normal windows 10 apps without any issue.

Running the latest version of MonoGame 3.5.1

_Error: the vstemplate file references the wizard class 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinRT.TemplateWizards.ApplicationInsights.Wizard' which does not exsist in the assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinRT.TemplateWizards, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'._

Can you create a normal UWP application?

[JranZu]

Yes,

I am able to create & publish normal windows 10 apps without any issue.

I am also wondering about the reference to _WinRT_... Shouldn't that be _Universal_ at this point?

Likely MS changed the templates for UWP in their latest release. Someone will need to compare our template with a default UWP template and look for the differences.

in template(WindowsUniversal.vstemplate) remove this >>>

Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinRT.TemplateWizards, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinRT.TemplateWizards.ApplicationInsights.Wizard

Hi @PumpkinPudding,

Can you please suggest where this template file is located so I may remove it as I am facing this error.

Hi @bilamjad

The template is not where you might expect. It's actually:

C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Visual C#\MonoGame

@tomspilman Any chance this will be back ported to the current release? -- It's impossible to create Windows 10 UWP projects without this fix. -- It's literally just updating one zip file in the installer...
