Resolution: Fixed
> Windows Platform Guide Needs Updating
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-12581
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12581
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: cordova-docs, cordova-windows
> Reporter: grat bodkin
> Priority: Major
> Labels: backlog, windows
>
> 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.
