I’ve been trying to install the Portable Library Tools and create a Portable Class

  • 0

I’ve been trying to install the Portable Library Tools and create a Portable Class Library using Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone. It seems like it should work as PCL says it supports Visual Studio Express. Unfortunately, I run into issues as it won’t recognize that VS 2010 SP1 is installed.

How would I go about installing the Portable Library Tools into Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone?

I’ve done the following

  1. Installed Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
  2. Installed Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Updates
  3. Installed Visual Studio SP1
  4. Attempt to install Portable Library Tools

At that point receive a “You don’t have Visual Studio 2010 SP1”. Any ideas? Or am I destined to have to purchase Visual Studio? The goal is to be able to build an SDK library that supports desktop .NET, ASP.NET as well as Windows Phone 7.

    I had the same problem one-time with a Professional Version that any setup not recognize SP1.
    Simple reinstall solved the problem.

    OR

    Express Editions only supports templates and toolbox controls extensions.

    So maybe PCL not falls under this category then you have to purchase Professional or higher.
