> The windows platform guide in the cordova documentation fails to mention anything about the requirements for Visual Studio. 
> After installing cordova via npm, as well as Visual Studio 2015 Express from Microsoft's website, cordova windows applications will not build due to project compatibility errors.
> There is little to no documentation online about how to get around this problem.
> Note, the solution is to make SURE that Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 is installed.  However, there are known issues with installing update 3 to an existing installation (see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs-knownissues/vs2015-update3).  Ultimately, if users are developing with Visual Studio 2015, the easiest work around is to install VS2015 using the full product installer called  "Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3".
> There should probably be something in the windows platform guide about this so that people can actually follow the rest of the platform guide, and build their projects successfully.
