    • Bug
    • Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

    • WinRT

    Description

      Currently the installer does not check for a valid Visual Studio to be installed. This causes potential errors after the installation.
      The check can be a similar one like for iOS and Mac where xCode availability is tested.

      We'd need the following checks for those mkspecs:

      • Windows Runtime: Visual Studio 2013 for Windows
      • Windows Phone (x86/arm): Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone
