# Installing the Windows SDKs

The minimum requirements (builds tools and SDKs, not including Windows Mobile Emulators), will take around 10 GB of storage.

  1. Download Visual Studio installer from https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/ (opens new window).

  2. Run the installer and select the Visual Studio Edition you wish to install.

  3. In the Workloads tab, select the following required Workloads and optional workload components:

    1. Universal Windows Platform Development with the C++ Universal Windows Platform Tools optional component

  4. In the Individual Components tab, select the following required Individual Components (there may be newer versions of the components, please select the latest version)

    1. SDKs, Libraries, and frameworks:

      1. Windows 10 SDK (10.15063.0) for Desktop C++ x86 and x64

      2. Windows 10 SDK (10.0.15063.0) for UWP: C++

  5. If you wish to use emulators during development, select the Windows Mobile Emulators component in the Universal Windows Platform development optional packages.

  6. Click Install.

  7. Once the install has finished, open Visual Studio to verify that the install worked.

# Troubleshooting

  • Appcelerator Studio does not show any emulators or connected devices/appc ti info -t windows does not display any information

    • The tooling within the Visual Studio installation used by Titanium to detect information can sometimes get corrupted, this may happen if Appcelerator Studio was left open while Visual Studio was updating or installing. To fix this, first try restarting your development machine. If that does not work you can run a repair of Visual Studio by opening the installer and choosing the Repair option.
