Hello,
I have started a project using VS2017 entreprise. I am using windows sdk 10.17134, I was able to generate the solution without any problem.
But now i couldn't generate the solution i have the MSB8036 Error that says the windows sdk are not found, but I have many windows sdk installed, i checked in vs installer and it's still installed. I try to retarget the sdk butI did not find anything.
Thanks for any and all help!

It can be surprising to see this kind of thing happen with a computer. It is easy to think that computers will just follow instructions but it then surprises us when things go wrong, for apparently no reason.
The VS installer saying that the SDK is installed doesn't really mean anything. It is possible that the Windows SDK installer didn't run properly or it did run but then failed to register itself. It is also possible that something managed to corrupt the registry at some point and the Windows 10 SDK's registration was lost.
What you should do is look for the Windows 10 SDK in Control Panel -> Programs and Features or Windows Settings -> Apps and Features. If you find it then repair the install through the Windows 10 SDK installer, not the Visual Studio installer.
This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Hi MohandTahar,
Thanks for your feedback.
According to your description, it seems that the VS cannot recognize the installed Window10 SDK versions.Did you make any changes to VS 2017 or OS before this issue happened?
You can try the following steps as below to troubleshoot this issue:
1. do a repair in vs installer
2. reinstall the VS 2017 enterprise with SDK 10.17134 and remove other windows 10 SDK versions from individual component list
Any feedback will be expected.
Best Regards,
Perry
