I have the SDK manager for Android installed and updated on my PC currently running a Windows OS And i also have Xamarin Studio downloaded and installed for Windows.
Challenge is, i try as much as possible to create a new "Helloworld" project and the Next button has bluntly refused. What could be the issue really? I am Totally new to this
The only solution that could come thru at this Moment was installing a lower version of Xamarin. I installed http://download.xamarin.com/studio/Windows/XamarinStudio-5.9.5.9-0.msi as the community version and it didnt give issues installing and no grey out buttons in this case, Thought I'd post the answer here

I have installed visual studio 2017 community properly with mobile development packge and I can't find cross platform app in c#
What can I do to install it ?
You should review the installation procedure documented by Microsoft.
If you don't have the Xamarin menu under Help then you may have missed something. You can re-run the installer and change workflows to confirm you have all the required pieces. Note that additional steps are needed to build and deploy, although you see stuck at just the installation step if templates are missing.
The problem was that some files was corrupted because of a faild complete unistallation of xamarin ... so i prefered a speed and smart solution that can help me to continue my work so i installed a new os windows in new partition i tried to install those files , they worked on the new os so it's clear that xamarin will be installed properly finaly i installed the hole visual studio and that worked for me ...
I'd like to install the Xamarin Studio on Windows so I searched on google and it led me here https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads. I clicked the download and the setup begins. I clicked CONTINUE and 'yes' to allow changes to my computer. And after that, nothing happened. I waited for a few minutes and still, nothing happens. I went back to that link and repeated all the steps but again, it didn't work. Help me pls I really need the XS :(

The best way to have Xamarin is installing the VS, since the 2015 version you can have Xamarin inside VS. BTW, you don't need to pay (but you can if you want to) because there is Community version of VS.
On Windows OS, you don't need to download Xamarin Studio for developing with Xamarin.
Use VS 2017 is better, you browse https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/ to download and install Visual Studio 2017 because it supports Xamarin now(https://blog.xamarin.com/better-apps-visual-studio-2017/)
After you started downloaded file, you will see some options that you can choose. You can choose Xamarin.
If you don't know which ones should be chosen, just choose all.
It works for me.
I'm facing an annoying problem involving my installation of Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I just got into a cross platform mobile project and I have fetched the source code from version control. The solution consists of several mobile projects (Android, iOS) that work fine and a UWP project that refuses to load. It says on the solution explorer:
This project requires a Visual Studio update to load. Right click on the project and choose "Download Update"
After clicking "Download Update" I'm presented with this page: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive .
I've tried downloading all three of the SDKs (I don't think it's an emulator issue so I haven't bothered download the emulator installers).
All three throw this error:
I've tried modifying my Visual Studio installation from the control panel but as you can see the installer claims all Windows SDKs are currently installed:
I've tried re-installing the SDKs. I've tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2 times, one of them involved a full uninstall by running
vs_enterprise.exe /uninstall /force
in a command prompt but to no avail.
Also when I try to create a fresh UWP Project the only platform I can target is the 10.0.240 build. I recall being able to target other versions in the past but the dropdown only contains this option now.
I finally solved it after quite a lot of research. I followed these steps:
Go to Control Panel > Programs & Features
Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, right click on it and select 'Change'
When the installer pops up select 'Modify'
Uncheck the whole 'Universal Windows Apps Development tools' section
Wait until the uninstallation is complete
Restart
Again go to Control Panel and find the SDK installers which apparently are not removed using the above method:
Uninstall them all
Restart
Visit this page: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive and download all three SDKs
Start by installing version 10.0.26624 and work your way up
After you're done go to control panel find the Visual Studio Installation, right click, click 'Change' then after the wizard loads select 'Modify'
Make sure every option in the 'Universal Windows Apps Development Tools' section is checked, click Next
After the installation of the SDKs and tools is complete restart your computer
The error should be gone now
I ran into this error trying to add a Portable Class Library project to a solution. It occurred whether I asked it to target Windows Universal 10.0 or Windows 8.1.
The workaround I used is to ask it to also target ASP.NET Core 1.0, even though I wasn't using ASP.NET.
I also ran into this which took me a lot of time to solve. Actually YOU DON'T HAVE TO REINSTALL ANYTHING! If you are totally sure your Visual Studio is up to date, just follow these steps and it will solve your problems: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35733823/3322347
I am a new Xamarin user, and have installed the Visual Studio 2015 Community installation, with all the Xamarin options enabled. This was done on both a Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machine, both of which were fresh installations.
On both PCs, I am receiving the same exact errors. As soon as a Xamarin.Forms.Portable project is created, it loads with the following errors:
I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio multiple times, and made sure to install all features. I also tried the steps highlighted here, to no avail.
I do not know how to proceed. I am new to Xamarin, and need to create an application which works on both Android and iOS devices, so from what I can see, this is the project type I need to choose.
Is there something which I have missing, that needs to be installed? These errors are appearing as soon as a new project is created, so I'm assuming that the default configurations should be fine.
I also tried adding Xamarin.Android.Support.V4 through NuGet, however this in turn caused more errors.
These all appear to be warnings, not errors. You should still be able to deploy to emulator or device.
The XamlCTask errors are probably related to the fact that, annoyingly, the versions of Xamarin Forms nugets are not aligned across the different platforms with a clean installation of VS2015 Community. Right click on your SOLUTION, go down to Manage Nugets for Solution, and update Xamarin Forms. I was fighting these warning for a long time before figuring that out.
Do NOT update all Nugets -- packages are being pushed that are incompatible! This was true recently in the Android universe -- updating all Nugets to latest stable would break your app. This appears to be resolved now (I'm at the latest stable in all categories with working projects) but be mindful that you may need to roll back to "minimum required" rather than "latest stable" if you have errors. A new issue has come up with the latest Xamarin Forms and 3rd party Nugets creating troublesome Resources.cs errors.
I've been using XNA Game Studio 4.0 with Visual Studio 2013 Express Desktop Edition for a few weeks now.
Recently, Visual Studio stopped working, saying that it:
could not find all components
I worked around this problem by choosing "repair" from it's setup.
However, it stopped showing XNA as an installed template.
Things I have already tried:
Uninstalling and re-installing Visual Studio
XNA Game Studio
I tried uninstalling XNA Game Studio, but there is no uninstall.exe anywhere, it does not show in "Programs and Features" in Control Panel, and in the Start Menu also it does not have any uninstall features.
As of now, XNA is not part of my installed templates, but it is installed.
When I try to install it again it says
"This extension is already installed to all applicable products".
I finally figured it out!
The problem lied in the Visual Studio software, which stopped working and had to be re-installed (as I mentioned earlier).
After that, XNA was still installed but not showing as an installed template.
So, in Visual Studio, I went in Tools->Extensions and Updates.
In installed templates, it was empty. But after typing "XNA Game Studio" in the search bar, it showed XNA.
The problem was, that it was disabled.
Just enable it and it'll start working like perfect and show up in your installed templates.
I really appreciate the help given to me by #Salah Akbari. Seriously, all suggestions and help is really appreciated.
If you are using Windows 8, XNA is not supported on Windows 8. There is a work around:
Download and install Games for Windows Marketplace Client
You can find it in the following link.:
