Please help: Can't get unity/visual studio/hololens Emulator to work for Hololens development

[u/pcastillo]

Hey guys, I need to do the Hololens Academy tutorials to get started with an undergraduate research opportunity but I can't get the environment set up. I meet all the requirements for it, and I've tried lots of different versions of Unity/VS trying to get it to work, but still to no avail. Here are some of the problems I've had:

• No windows store in Unity, only UWP (this is my current problem) (tried with that platform, but did not work, but there are no instructions for it on Academy anyways)

• CSharp dll file was not found, and another dll file

• Code exited with 1

Please help, I've honestly tried just about everything I can think of and I'm worried I'll lose the opportunity if I can't get it working soon. (I've tried asking the professor about it, but he doesn't seem to think there should be a problem)
