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

    Or 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.
