    So to be clear, UWP and the Offline Documentation are included in the 5.4.0f1-HTP download assistant?

    Correct, You only need the Unity Download Assistant.

    Worth noting, if someone happens upon the download link and installs the UWP package meant for the previous beta, it will cause some serious and inconsistent errors when building. Not only that, upon installing it, it will alert you "expecting 5.4.024b, would you still like to install?". I came across the latest beta yesterday at what seems to be the moment you guys released it. So I simply uninstalled 5.4.0f1 and reinstalled it without applying the UWP, and things are working as they should.

    Another heads up, I decided to reinstall everything from scratch and it looks like Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) which isn't compatible with Unity HoloLens 5.4.0f1-HTP(64-bit). When I go to build a project, I get the following, and an empty directory as a result.


    When running the Visual Studio Installer again, I see that there is an option to install 10.0.10240, which people were having to install when encountering this issue in the 5.2.3p3 and 5.3.1f1 until the fix was released. More on that here.


    Upon Installing the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10240), the build completed, but now get the following warning.

    Awesome thank you for the heads up. Could you please file a bug report with this information about the SDK not being supported.

    Thank you,
    Wesley

    Are there any HoloLens specific changes? The download's page changelog still reflects the b24 release. So does the archive.

    Also if the 10.0.10586 SDK is problematic then I'm curious to see what happens when the 14393 SDK goes live today..

    Thank you pointing out the issue with the release Notes, the notes do look current however. If you look at the bullet points it shows that the build is no based off of 5.4.f01

    Finally somebody else reporting the same issue I am seeing! Been trying to figure out the WSAPlayer warning for a day now. So do I just have to live with the warning message

    The WSAPlayer warning has no effect on functionality.

    I installed Unity 5.4.0f3 and I have UAP versions 10.0.10240.0 and 10.0.10563.0 installed under Windows Kits folder. While building from Unity, it is throwing an error saying that Could not find a part of the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.14393.0\Platform.xml" and the generated build is an empty VS solution.

    I tried reinstalling Unity after running a repair on my VS 2015 installation but that didn't solve the issue. Do we have a solution for this issue?

    @Unity_Wesley So which parts do we download in the installer to get it to work with HoloLens? Do we have to install the .NET and ILCPP Windows Store features?

    @quitebuttery You only need to download the .NET module in the installer for windows store features. You can download both if you want to, but it is not necessary.

    Hi, he main Hololens download page is still pointing at the 5.4f.03 but looks like the Unity 5.4.0f3 automatic install process is now broken - File not found / 404 errors . The 64 bit version install can't find the metro component. (among other things)
    "http://beta.unity3d.com/download/b2...itySetup-Metro-Support-for-Editor-5.4.0f3.exe The error message is : File Not Found (404)"
    Tried downloading the 32bit version : download fails right away. file not Found.

    Is the 5.5 beta now the "official" way to go for hololens development ? Will I have to update/change existing 5.4f.03 projects ? Please advise, Thanks !

    5.5 already has improvements and fixes for HoloLens development that are not in the 5.4 HTP. It is unclear at this point whether we'll be doing another HTP drop; all our development for HoloLens is now in the 5.5 and future main Unity versions.

    I have Windows 10 pro, all updates installed, but the holographic window says it is an old build version. Is that a feature not yet supported by windows?

    Can you check your OS build version? You should be able to find this in Windows Settings -> System -> About.

    Will there HTP version be restored?

    The 5.5beta has broken our project and we would like to revert back to 5.4.

    It just so happens that we have new machines that do not have the old build - is there _any_ archive location for this? All the links on Unity's page are broken.

    i have just moved to unity 5.5.0b9 since b10 is bugged, launched my hololens project which functionned with unity 5.4.0 htp and i have a black screen now on the HL when I launch my app.

    edit : I have desactivated several performance tips, back to basic settings and it functions now
    edit 2 : well tried single pass instanced as stereo rendering method and well it functions better than with 5.4.0htp : no more lag while turning around an object :)
