I am developing ionic framework to build an Windows application. I can only add Windows platform, but I can't build it. When I build it, I get below error:

MSBuild v4.0 is not supported, aborting.
Error: AppPackages doesn't exists.

System Configuration:

  • OS: Windows 8.1

  • Visual Studio: 2013 ans 2015 installed

  • Windows SDK: 8.1

Can anyone help?

  • This is fixed, follow the bellow steps 1. cd ionic app dir. 2. ionic cordova platform add windows 3. ionic prepare platform windows 4. Add below section in config.xml 5. open the ' CordovaApp.sln ' from appdir/platforms/windows/ in VS 2013/2015/2017 [Assuming you have the Visual studio set up for cordova build] 6. build it from VS – Jayesh Apr 25 '18 at 19:58

You don't have build tools. Try with Microsoft Build Tools 2015 or Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. For Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 look in visualstudio.com/downloads/ section "Other tools and frameworks".

In my case when I was trying to open the .sln file from Visual Studio it said me that the project as incompatible with that version. I have uninstalled Visual Studio and installed the required version for my project.

Inside the platforms/windows folder you will see a .sln file which in the name contains the version of Visual Studio you need, such as CordovaApp.vs2013.sln. Install that version and try again to build it.

Your application package does not exist, also MSBuild 4.0 is not supported, try to upgrade your windows or rebuild your application.
