Make sure you update and have Linux Development in place - Brian Beuken - 02-14-2019

a few of my students have been working with Linux dev options and that has thrown up a couple of gotacha moments.

1st you need to make sure your visual studio 2017 is updated to the latest version, it needs it, or it has issues working out the remote access.
2nd you have to have Linux devdlopment with C++ installed 

both the update and Linux dev options can be checked at Tools->Get Tools and Features.

Even though you may get options to create new linux project. or it may load one of my dual config demos, you will have issues if you have not updated and installed the features.
