Unity 5.4.0f1 HoloLens not listed under VR SDKs

I just installed Unity 5.4.0f1 and attempted to do the Holograms 100 Tutorial: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/holograms_100

When I get to the part about changing the Player Settings and checking the box for VR supported it says to "confirm "Windows Holographic" is listed as a supported device."

However Windows Holographic is not listed under Virtual Reality SDKs, when I click the + symbol the only options I get are Stero Display (multi-monitor) and None.

Is HoloLens supported in this version or do I still have to use the older beta version of 5.4?

 

Ahh ok thanks, I had a feeling that might be the case.

In that case, do you know the proper URL for the Windows Store module? The URL that I'm directed to when I click "Open Download Page" gives a 404. http://beta.unity3d.com/download/e3e057da3607/UnitySetup-Metro-Support-for-Editor-5.4.0b24-HTP.exe = 404

I tried using the Windows Store module for the 5.4.0f1 version but I think that is causing errors when building.

 

I got it from the File>Build Settings dialog.
Once the dialog is open, select the Windows Store Platform.
If you don't have the module installed it just says:
"No Windows Store Module Loaded"
Button: "Open Download Page"

Clicking the button opens the link that I provided that results in a 404.

 

Note, I installed the Unity HTP and had the same issue. Turned out its cause I was using Windows 10 Home. Upgraded to Windows 10 Education and "Windows Holographic" prepopulated in the list

 

Hey I could not find where to download UWP run-time. Can you please give me download link. I am also facing the same issue.

 

I'm somewhat confused. Do I need these components to do ANY Hololens Development or just to use the emulator:

• 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (The Home edition does not support Hyper-V or the HoloLens emulator)
• 64-bit CPU
• CPU with 4 cores (or multiple CPU's with a total of 4 cores)
• 8 GB of RAM or more

 

Hi,

I'm trying my first project using this tutorial:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/holograms_100

Well, I seem to have finally installed everything just fine (?) for the Windows "Hologram 100" tutorial , but I am unable to see "Windows Holographic" listed as a supported device. Any ideas?

Also, under the instructions for this project, it says this, but not seeing a "dropdown" and not seeing Fastest turning green:
Select the dropdown under the Windows Store logo and select Fastest. You'll know the setting is applied correctly when the box in the Windows Store column and Fastest row is green.

I feel like I'm taking baby-steps - but eventually will get there.

Thanks!

 

Version 5.4.2f1 personal.

Next problem is when I try to build receive message, "Platform assembly not found. Make sure Visual Studio 2015 is installed", but this has been installed with the latest update from Oct 2016.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

I installed the 5.5 Beta build and got a little further. Now I am able to see Windows Holographic in "Player Settings" as a device which is some progress but unfortunately when I build, I am getting the following message:
DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP\10.0.10240.0\Platform.xml".
System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous, FileOptions options) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.IO/FileStream.cs:292)
System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share)
(wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.IO.FileStream:.ctor (string,System.IO.FileMode,System.IO.FileAccess,System.IO.FileShare)

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

 

It looks like this "platform.xml" file is missing: \Platforms\UAP\10.0.10240.0\Platform.xml",
since there is no "platforms" directory off of this directory :C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.

Also, why are these components installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory rather tan under the install under the C:\Program Files directory?

Thanks.

 

I have a very similar issue and am unable to create Windows Store builds using my OSX Unity installation for 5.4.2 and would like to be able to build that target so I can then load the Visual Studio projects and create the UWP.

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1263597/windows-store-module-link-broken-osx-unity-542f2.html

Any tips would be appreciated.

 

yes, definitely!

 

I've been struggling with this for awhile now, so happy to impart where I am now. The only thing that seemed to work the best was to install the current Beta version 5.5.xx. This gave me the "store" build options, as well as Windows Holographic in "Player Settings". I'm still stuck, as my last message shows. Will let you know how I progress from there. I added just a simple 3d cube to test if I am building correctly so I wouldn't need to repeat a bunch of steps leading up to building. Currently stuck on that "path" message shown above.

 

Any other ideas concerning this would be appreciated. I don't know who else to ask except Unity. I really need to get this working.
Thanks.

 

I have installed VS 3 times already. Looking at the error in the build process, it seems like the path not found is a part of the Unity software installation in X86 for some reason, , so that is why I thought it may be a Unity installation problem. I will install VS again as you suggested.
Thanks.

 

Re-installed VB Studio and got a bit further. Tried these steps next:
HoloLens over Wi-Fi

1. Click on the arrow next to the Local Machine button, and change the deployment target to Remote Machine.
2. Enter the IP address of your HoloLens device and change Authentication Mode to Universal (Unencrypted Protocol).
3. Select Debug > Start without debugging. If this is the first time deploying to your device, you will need to pair it with Visual Studio.

At this point I get these messages - just the first few - there are 77 - again, any help would be appreciated....

I am having exactly the same problem; Windows Holographic is not listed under Virtual Reality SDKs. I have installed the Windows 10 UWP runtime, running VS2015 Update 3. Installed the latest beta (version 5.4.0f3) of Unity using the Unity Download Assistant. Can you provide any further advice as to what I can try to get the SDK for Hololens listed?

 

Every time I download Unity 5.4.0f3-HTP using the Download assistant it says "Download of 'Unity 5.4.0f3-HTP' is corrupted. Do you want to retry downloading it, ignore this module to skip it, or abort the entire Unity installation?"
EVERY TIME. (I've retried countless times now) So what do I need to fix to make the download assistant work correctly? Or is there another way to get the technical preview build for hololens?

 

I've installed Unity 5.5.2f1 and no Hololens option under Virtual Reality SDKs. can someone help me with this?
Also I didn't see windows store option under Edit > Project Settings > Quality

 

Thank you, yes I was missing windows store package. After Installation I've got missing parts. Thanks again.
