Thanks for filing this issue. We are in the process of updating the source code for the WinUI 3 Controls Gallery so let's revisit this problem once the branches are updated.

Fixed

I'm getting this error too when I try to build...
Edit: I'm in Windows 11 in case that matters.

Same here, NOT fixed.

For @ThatMouse and anyone ending up here, I was able to build and run the project by doing the following :

• Clone the main branch
• Install the 1.1-preview3 Windows SDK. The version used is referenced in the standalone.props file, in the <ProjectReunionPackageVersion> and <ProjectReunionWinUIPackageVersion> nodes. Install the C# extension from Latest Preview here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads
• In the WinUIGallery.DesktopWap.Package.wapproj file, in the node <TargetPlatformVersion>, I replaced the version (10.0.18362.0, the one of the error message) with 10.0.19041.0. The right version number (which is the one for SDK 1.1-preview3 I guess) is the name of the folder that sits in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP
• Not sure if important, I set the configuration as Debug and x64.

After these actions, I just rebuilt DesktopWap and then DesktopWap.Package, put DesktopWap.Package as the startup project and ran the debugger with success. Since I had the app installed from the Store, it asked me if I wanted to overwrite it and I said yes.

@bpulliam I think this shows that the version in WinUIGallery.DesktopWap.Package.wapproj (10.0.18362.0) does not match what it should be considering the use of the 1.1-preview3 SDK in standalone.props

Thank you for sharing this @K3UL. I hope that this solves your issue @ThatMouse.

Thank you @K3UL , changing the target worked!

Or rather, tough overkill, install the exact same Windows 10 SDK version (in this case 10.0.18362.1), as the Universal CRT files are part of Windows 10 Sdk

Faced same issue. Worked around by doing[1] as described in previous comment by @K3UL.

[1]:

In the WinUIGallery.DesktopWap.Package.wapproj file, in the node , I replaced the version (10.0.18362.0, the one of the error message) with 10.0.19041.0 .

Hi @AMArostegui how to install the specific version of Windows 10 SDK?
I installed the SDK following instructions on [1] but there is no mention about how to install a specific version.

In this link you can find specific SDK versions

I solved this issue by going to Visual Studio -> Tools -> Get Tools and Features ....
And modifying my install to include UWP Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0) under individual components.
