--------------------------------
Summary: Windows Platform Guide Needs Updating
Key: CB-12581
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12581
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Task
Components: Docs, Windows
Reporter: grat bodkin
The windows platform guide in the cordova documentation fails to mention
anything about the requirements for Visual Studio.
After installing cordova via npm, as well as Visual Studio 2015 Express from
Microsoft's website, cordova windows applications will not build due to project
compatibility errors.
There is little to no documentation online about how to get around this problem.
Note, the solution is to make SURE that Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 is
installed. However, there are known issues with installing update 3 to an
existing installation (see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs-knownissues/vs2015-update3). Ultimately,
if users are developing with Visual Studio 2015, the easiest work around is to
install VS2015 using the full product installer called "Visual Studio 2015
with Update 3".
There should probably be something in the windows platform guide about this so
that people can actually follow the rest of the platform guide, and build their
projects successfully.
