How can I create a Universal Windows Application using TypeScript in Visual Studio 2015?

问题

Visual Studio 2015 does not have a project template for Universal Windows Applications in TypeScript. I would like to know how to get started.

In Visual Studio 2015.1, this works out-of-the-box. In 2015.2 and 2015.3 however, you have to work around a TypeScript installation bug. See second part for a how-to.

With the Universal SDK installed, go to New Project -> JavaScript -> Windows -> Blank App (Universal Windows). Simply change main.js to main.ts and you're set.

If you're running Visual Studio 2015.2 or 2015.3, you need to tweak your TypeScript install first. Shout-out to @minestarks on GitHub:

I assume you're running in an English locale here, otherwise I don't think the workaround is applicable.

Close VS. In an administrator command prompt:

cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%\msbuild\microsoft\visualstudio\v14.0\typescript mkdir en copy *.xaml en copy TypeScript.Tasks.dll en\TypeScript.Tasks.resources.dll

Now open your UWP project again, the TS files should be visible and building when you build your project.
