Anyone else using Visual Studio 2015 to develop Metro applications? I just upgrade this week - fresh install of VS2015 and Windows 10. When I try to create a project that targets Windows 8.1 I get a message that says the feature isn't installed. When I click on the 'Install' button to install the 'Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0 / 8.1 Tools', then VS attempts to launch another instance and I get a 'usage' message about some command line that apparently didn't launch correctly.

remove VS2015 completely, run setup again and now go to the custom options and select all Store Dev tools. Does this work? – magicandre1981 Aug 01 '15 at 17:20

1Or you could just launch the Visual Studio installer again and select the missing features you need. – Damir Arh Aug 02 '15 at 04:46

Yes. Changing the installation works to get the features. Trying to add them after the install (like in VS2013) does not. Thanks. – Quark Soup Aug 03 '15 at 14:19

Run the Visual Studio installation and choose Modify. Expand the Features tree along the following path.
Windows and Web Development | Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Check Tools and Windows SDKs
.
Complete the installation.
