  Hi,
  
  Welcome to the Oculus Developer Forums.
  
  I was able to successfully run the 1.16 PC SDK Samples.sln in VS2015.
  
  I was also able to build the solution with both 8.1 and 10.0.15063.0 target platforms successfully as well.
  
  If you were to reinstall VS2015 and the windows SDK again, does this problem persist? If so, does this problem continue if you were to use another computer?
  
  Please advise.

  I also had this identical issue with the VS2017 community edition that is installed automatically when you install the oculus SDK.
  
  Just uninstalled VS2017, I'm downloading VS2015 update 3 from https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3 and will let you know if I can still reproduce this issue.

  When I switched the target platform with VS 2017 Community it didn't change all the version strings in my .vcxproj file. I closed VS, edited the file manually and then I was able to get it to build.

  Ok yeah so it works now. If someone else runs into this issue, here are the steps I took to fix it:
  
  1. Add/remove programs -> click "Modify" on Visual Studio 2017, then "Uninstall"
  2. Add/remove programs -> Uninstall anything matching "visual studio" or "windows sdk"
  3. Download visual studio 2015 from  https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3 (you may need to add access to the free visual studio dev toolkit, but you don't need to pay for a VS subscription)
  4. On the VS2015 installer, check "Windows and Web Development" => "Universal Windows App Development Tools"
  5. Delete sdk folder to remove previous VS files
  6. Unzip sdk again and open solution
  7. Right click solution => Retarget solution
  8. Build

  I had the same problem, and neilsarkar's steps worked for me. I think the SDK guide could use an update to make this more clear...

  Has anyone still encounter this problem in SDK 1.20? I am trying to compile OculusRoomTiny(DX12). I've retargeted everything to 10.0.14393.0 (what I have locally) and only that project is not compiling; everything compiles fine. And that's the one project I was hoping to play around with
  The same project works fine with an older sdk download I have locally (1.3).

  Try manually editing the project file as I suggested in my earlier post.
