title: Visual Studio 2017 Kinect for Windows 10
body: <p>I am trying to follow <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cdndevs/2014/10/31/kinect-with-me-part-2-tracking-bodies-and-overlaying-shapes-on-infrared-data/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a> using Visual Studio Community 2017. However, whenever I try to compile, I get this error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>framework identity 'Name = Microsoft.WindowsPreview.Kinect.8.1,
    MinVersion = 2.0.1410.19000'. It is expected to have three parts
    delimited by a comma.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I believe the issue has to do with the loss of support for windows 8.1 in Visual Studio 2017, since I did create a blank universal windows app, and had to make the target OS Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>I can't just create a WPF file, because then I can't follow the tutorial anymore, but the only other solution I saw (to make use a windows 8.1 project template) doesn't work because Visual Studio no longer supports 8.1</p>
  
  <p>How can I fix this error?</p>
