Cannot Create Monogame UWP Projects

[Avan_Madisen]

Howdy MG Community,

It’s been some years since I was last here and the current world situation has given me a chance to dive back into playing with Monogame, but…

I’ve just done a fresh install of VS 2017 and Monogame 3.7.1 and I’ve tried to create a UWP project with some errors.

After some googling the most recent thing I found was the following thread with links to an old solution:

Visual Studio 2017 New Windows 10 Universal Project Error

Unfortunately this bug made it into the 3.6 release. It is fixed in the develop branch by this PR https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/pull/5546 You can get the develop version to resolve the issue (on the Downloads page under Development Builds). There’ll be a 3.6.1 release that will contain the fix, not sure when though.

I following those instructions and ended up with the following error and I not I’m stuck as googling doesn’t seem to find me any answers.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

If you go to the Application properties of the project and adjust the Target version and Min version of the UWP app does that help?

Thanks for replying.

The last error was occurring before it created the project and so no project was created.

…however I have just tried again and I get no errors, despite me having tried a system reboot yesterday.

I don’t know what was causing the error but it appears to have fixed itself.

I’ve had several monogame errors that just “went away” on their own a day or a few days later. It’s kind of magical like that, sometimes.
