SQLite in Universal App: Trouble with dependencies

Question

Hi,

I'm developing a Universal App for Windows 10, that uses a SQLite database.

I added "SQLite for Universal App Platform" and on my local Machine everything works fine. But when I try to test the mobile App an error is thrown when trying to connect to the database: "Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3'". Also I get some Warnings like "The SDK SQLite.UAP.2015, Version=3.8.11.1 depends on the following SDK(s) Microsoft.VCLibs, version=14.0 ". In some other forums I found, that I have to add visual c++ 2015 runtime for universal windows. Unfortunately I don't know how to to that. I can only coose the 2013 Runtime, which seems to be the wrong one (see attached screenshot).

Regards

Kim

Already saw these suggestions. That's why I posted the screenshot: I can't choose 2015, there is only 2013 available. Although the 2015 Runtime is installed on my machine, it doesn't pop up in the reference-window.

Also it seems that 2013 Runtime provides the desired Version 14 (see screenshot)

Hi Quaxdachs,

Welcome to the Developing Universal Windows apps forum! 

Please read the sticky posts, especially the Guide to posting: subject line tags and Known Issues for Windows 10 SDK and Tools .

 

>>I can't choose 2015, there is only 2013 available

 

2015 is available for you according to your screenshot. You can find the  package "Visual C++ 2015 Runtime for Universal Windows"  under the package "SQLite for Universal App".

Please update the reference for your project.

I marked the item in your screenshot in red:
