Answer 1

As Brendan Zagaeski told,its a problem generated because of using preview version of build tools

Please follow these steps

• Open SDK manager
• Select Build tools with version 24rc2 (Please make sure that only this item is selected)
• Click on uninstall

**UPDATE 2016 Nov ** Some of my friends told me that it can also happen with the nuget packages. If the above doesn't solve your problems, try to reinstall nuget packages.
