@k200 - the files do work. However, if you're using the VS 2015 Community Edition, you might have trouble unless you have also installed the Universal Windows Platform Tools and Windows 10 SDK- Anonymous

I have Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 installed, with all the tools and packages installed and I am still getting multiple errors trying to open solutions. Mainly with NuGet, one tells me that project.json doesnt list 'win10-x86' as a targeted runtime, when I look in the json it is there. Can anyone help? Am I going to have to uninstall and then reinstall? I just downloaded update 2.- Anonymous
