C++/WinRT Hello World

C++/WinRT Hello World

This is a quick start quide to prepare a development environment to develop against C++/WinRT.

System:
Development OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
Target: Windows 10 LTSB build 10.0.14393
IDE: Visual Studio 2022 (used 17.4.4)

Install Visual Studio 2022 Universal Windows Platform development workload. The following is very _important_ as this is what will allow you to create C++/WinRT project. Check C++ (v143) Universal Windows Platform tools, doing so will also enable and install corresponding SDK.
Set back and relax as this will download ~24GB of data from Microsoft.

After installing Visual Studio, create Windows Console Application (C++/WinRT)
For the Minimum version, select Windows 10 Anniversary Update (10.0; Build 14393)
The template should look like below
If all is well, running it should look like below

Keywords: Visual Studio, C++/WinRT

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error!

[ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
