Martijn commented on CB-11204:
------------------------------

I see.

Well.

That's a dealbreaker then.

I prefer exe as well, since they are truly universal. They could even 
potentially run on XP. But also on Windows 10, from tablets to massive 
workstations. Furthermore, "universal apps" have to be installed through the 
Store (afaik), which is simply not an option for many users and many 
developers. Not only because the Store is so utterly CRAP, but also because 
many desktop folks uninstall it or refuse to use it for various legitimate 
reasons. The OSX Appstore is a lot better, because it's a "clean slate" from 
the iOS Appstore. Microsoft made the grave mistake to leave in all the fart 
apps, fake apps, website container apps, and mobile pay2win games. And that 
makes the Store a *horrible* distribution platform, and thus, a dealbreaker for 
Cordova.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Windows
>    Affects Versions: 6.1.1
>         Environment: Windows 10, VS2015
>            Reporter: Martijn
>
> I installed VS2015. In the documentation, there are no further instruction on 
> how to do that, so I went with the default options. All that just to get 
> MSBuild installed.
> So then:
> {code}
> npm install -g cordova
> cordova create CordovaApp
> cd CordovaApp
> cordova platform add windows
> cordova run windows
> {code}
> So it's a *completely virgin* project. The default's oughta work, right? 
> Wrong:
> {code}
> d:\Projecten\CordovaApp>cordova run windows
> Building project: 
> d:\Projecten\CordovaApp\platforms\windows\CordovaApp.Windows.jsproj
>         Configuration : debug
>         Platform      : anycpu
> C:\Program Files 
> (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2049,5): error 
> MSB3774: Could not find
> SDK "Microsoft.WinJS.2.0, Version=1.0". 
> [d:\Projecten\CordovaApp\platforms\windows\CordovaApp.Windows.jsproj]
> Error: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\msbuild.exe: Command failed 
> with exit code 1
> {code}
> So, either a step is missing from the documentation, or it's looking for 
> something that located someplace else.
> Remember, all related components are *completely* default. I have NEVER 
> touched ANY configuration of ANY of the involved components or code!
