UWP application not working in VS 2017

Question

I am unable to open my UWP application in VS 2017. According to this site it should work. The UpgradeLog.htm file says: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Visual Studio shows the project as incompatible and states: This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio. I do have UWP installed per the VS 2017 installation dialog. I am using the professional edition if this matters. This application only targets tablets and desktops.

Answer 1

I created a new UWP project using VS 2017. I compared the csproj files to see what might be the difference. I noticed that the ProjectTypeGuids each contained two guids. The first guid was different between the two however the second was the same. So, I changed the first guid: {BC8A1FFA-BEE3-4634-8014-F334798102B3} became {A5A43C5B-DE2A-4C0C-9213-0A381AF9435A}. I still received errors including version string portion was too short or too long. For this I changed the MinimumVisualStudioVersion to 14, updated the Project ToolsVersion to 15, and added the TargetPlatformIdentifier with a value of UAP. All these changes were needed as it didn't work until I had done all of these. After this I could load the project however I see errors loading runtime libraries. This is still an issue however the project loads now which was the original scope of my question. I'll work on the remaining errors separately.
