Please check the compile instructions here: https://github.com/digimezzo/Dopamine

I've done what the instruction tells, but I still have the errors:

'Media' does not exist in the namespace 'Windows',
when compiling LegacyNotificationService.cs

I'm using Windows 10 (1803) and VS 2017.

Do you have this file on you computer?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\Windows.winmd

If not, please check that you copied it to that location manually (see the compile instructions).

[Buzzroid]

Sorry for keep bothering you.

I'm sure that I've done what your instructions tell.
But, the error still exists.

Let me ask your environments:

• Your Windows version
• Your VS version

[digimezzo]

No problem. sorry for insisting :) My Windows and VS version are exactly the same as yours.

Let's check the "Windows" dependency in the main Dopamine project:

It is probably broken, like in the picture (I'm getting this error also when the Windows.winmd file is not in the expected location).
Try to add a new reference to the main project

and browse to the Windows.winmd file. That should fix the reference

If that works, I'll add it to the compile instructions.

[Buzzroid]

It works!!
Thanks a lot.

The Windows.winmd file shoule be located at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata', it's the reason, thanks!

In my computer, Windows.winmd file is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Annotated" directory. I should copy it to “C：\Program Files （x86）\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata”. I hope this could help others.
