Can not find Telerik reference

[Sergei]

Hi,
I installed Progress® Telerik® UI for UWP, but I'm not seeing all Telerik references.

 

I'm attaching screenshots.

I found a similar problem in another branch (https://www.telerik.com/forums/can't-find-teleik-references) and I tried to go through these steps, but the problem persists!

Log files include note:

6/17/2020 10:43:14 AM - Skipping 'C:\Users\********\AppData\Local\Microsoft SDKs' as it doesn't exist
6/17/2020 10:43:14 AM - The extension with ID 'Telerik.Map.VSIX.UWP..5d25eb6c-7448-410b-8741-821bdafaa4f1' is not installed to Global Location.

Could it affect the installation?

Hi Sergei,

The problem you are facing is really strange since you have the UWP Visual Studio Extensions installed(seen from the screenshots). We couldn't reproduce it on our side and what I can recommend you to workaround this is to use the NuGet package for the product - you can find more information on it here.

If this is not an acceptable solution for you I would as you to send us Visual Studio Activity log so we can investigate. Here are the steps:

1. Open Developer Command prompt for Visual Studio 20xx under Administrative rights.
2. Execute the command - devenv /log %userprofile%\desktop\ActivityLog.xml . This will start Visual Studio and create logs on your Desktop.
3. Check that the problem persists
4. Attach the Activitylog files and get back to us.

I hope the provided information help. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Sergei,

If you have some concerns about sharing publicly the data contained in your logs on the forum you could also open a support ticket where we could communicate privately and share here the solution later.

In any case we would need the ActivityLog.xml so if you could add it to a .zip archive and send it to us because the captures in the previous message contain the ActivityLog.xsl file which are only formatting rules.

Hi Sergei,

Thank you for providing the ActivityLog. Unfortunately it doesn't contain any clues on why the Telerik UWP references are not shown.

The mechanism of registration of these SDK extensions is simple:

1. The SDKs files are installed in the SDKs subfolder of Telerik UI for UWP installation folder
2. The path to each SDK is registered in the registry. For the missing SDK the registration should be under the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0\ExtensionSDKs\Telerik UI For Universal Windows Platform\2020.2.427.45"
   

You could check if the files and the registry registration exist on your machine and do a Repair of the product installation.

If that doesn't help we recommend to workaround that by using the NuGet package.

I hope this helps.

Hi Nikolay Mishev,

In the registry is all alright.

I have an old project and newer versions break application, but I cannot download the correct version in my account for current project, version 2015.2.624.45 is not available.

Where could I get the NuGet package version 2015.2.624.45?

Thanks!

Hi Sergei,

I've checked the mentioned version (2015.2.624.45)  and such a release exists only for our Telerik UI for Windows Universal suite.  Telerik UI for Windows Universal was built to target Windows Universal (Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1) application development and was discontinued in 2017.  I am afraid we'll not be able to provide a nuget for a product that is already not available.

Would you consider migrating the app to UWP, so that you can take advantage of our Telerik UI for UWP suite?  Here is a good guide about porting an app from Windows 8.x runtime to UWP:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/w8x-to-uwp-root

Let me know your thoughts on such an approach.

Hi,

I solved this problem. I needed to update windows development kit to 10.0.16299.91 version.
