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 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'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
This is very odd, yesterday this project loaded fine and today it doesn't want to.
Here is the error message:
C:\Dailymotion\dailymotion-windows-universal\Libs\winsdkfb-master\FBWinSDK\FBSDK-UWP\FBSDK-UWP\FBSDK-UWP.vcxproj : error : The method or operation is not implemented.
Project 'Facebook' could not be loaded because it's missing install components. To fix this launch Visual Studio setup with the following selections:
Install Universal Windows Platform Tools
C:\Dailymotion\dailymotion-windows-universal\Libs\winsdkfb-master\FBWinSDK\FBSDK-UWP\FBSDK-UWP\FBSDK-UWP.vcxproj : error : The method or operation is not implemented.
What is crazy is that i already have "Install Universal Windows Platform Tools" installed because i am developing a Windows 10 app! anyone have any idea?
did you upgrade your UWP tools?
I'm using VS 2015 Update 1 with UWP Tools 1.2 and I'm able to build https://github.com/Microsoft/winsdkfb/tree/master/FBWinSDK/FBSDK-UWP without errors.
Thank you for reporting this issue with using Visual Studio 2015 RTM to open C++ UWP apps, and our apologies for introducing this error.
We've released a fix for this issue. While we encourage you to install Update 1, you do not need to do so to get this fix. VS will automatically download the fix
If you have an internet connection, and
Once every 24 hours upon restarting Visual Studio.
So, if you wait until 24 hours from now, you’ll get the fix. If you want to force it sooner, here’s instructions:
Close Visual Studio
Open %appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\FeedCache
Copy all the files out to a new folder
Make sure you have in internet connection and restart Visual Studio
Wait a few minutes and you’ll see a new file appear in the FeedCache folder
You can copy the old files back into the folder if you want
If you can’t successfully open your project with a pre-Update 1 Visual Studio, please let us know.
Thanks!

Visual Studio PM
I have a windows phone application build for windows phone 8, in Visual Studio 2012. I have started incorporating azure, and found that Visual Studio 2013, was a smarter choice for this. Therefore I installed the new VS, and opened the file, but I cannot get it to upgrade the solution.
I use the Visual Studio Version Selector as default opener, and it open the solution in my VS2013. But it is still VS2012 version, as can be seen on the picture:
I have tried to use Save as, which is stated as a solution here. But still the solution does not change. Anyone has a suggestion for how to upgrade the solution to VS2013?
What I want to use is what is shown in this video on Channel9. So I need to some how upgrade my project, or do I have to copy the code to a new project :-/ ?
I tried installing the SDK's from Microsoft Azure, but still no luck.
EDIT
The feature where you add connected service is not available for windows phone. And you do therefore not need to upgrade the VS solution. But still I had problems getting access to the server.
Go to "View", and click "Server Explorer". There one can see a windows/Azure logo, by clicking it you will add your windows azure account. apparently this does not mean adding your services even though it states that you are logged in and with the correct subscription.
Solution
However the solution I stumbled upon was to add a new Mobile Service. Where then get prompted to choose my subscription which then was not there. Apparently the subscriptions can be loaded in different ways. Therefore in this new popup under subscriptions choose import. And you basically get the route described.
After importing the subscription, you then cancel creating a new services(If you did not need it :)). And now all your azure stuff will be accessible to manage as seen in this link.
However it does not create the code lines since you are not using "add connected services" which is possible in windows apps.
Finally an answer :)
You cannot convert solution from Visual Studio 2012 to 2013 because it is not changed at all.
Sln is just xml file and it is remain same so there is no need to convert it from 2012 to 2013
