Why can't I create Shared Project in Visual Studio 2015?

Question

I downloaded visual studio community 2015. I tried to create a Shared Project and am getting an error:

Content from Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.CSharp.targets

Answer 1

To fix this issue install the Windows 8/8.1 Project templates.

All I did was:

1. Open VS 2015
2. Click File->New->Project
3. Choose the only Project template under Windows 8

This will launch Visual Studio setup where you can install the templates that are missing.

Then you can create your Project.
