I thought I would try to build a cordova app with Visual Studio 2015, I normally use different IDEs for this (intellij and Netbeans) without any problems but fancied trying a new tool (as I do use VS for some web apps).

I have installed VS2015 Community and installed with the cordova tooling.

I thought I would do a test with the defaults and run, but I get build errors as per screen shot

Not sure what its on about..... If I run VS 2015 as administrator ( shortcut option - even though my user account is admin - nice one windows), I still get a build issue but no errors reported , anyone else experienced this ?

Running as Admin this is what screens look like for a blank cordova app

which I enabled by setting shortcut
