Creating a UWP project in Visual Studio 2015 results in a ".NETCore 5.0 missing" message

I installed Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (version 14.0.23104.0 D14REL) with tools for building Universal Windows Apps. Every time I create or load a Windows Universal project (unit test, class library), I get the following error:

Update required .NETCore 5.0 missing

The download link unhelpfully goes to microsoft.com and I can't find a "framework SDK" download for .NET Core anywhere.

I tried installing the CoreCLR runtime using the DNX tool, but that didn't change anything.

What am I missing?

I had the same issue and I noticed that the v5.0 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETCore" was missing. This issue only arose after I installed the vs2017 and uninstalled it (meaning it removed the v5.0 folder during the uninstall process). I tried everything from repairing to uninstalling/reinstalling vs2015 but none recreated that folder.

Here is my v5.0 zip try placing it in the above mentioned path (never tried it myself, i just reinstalled vs2017) https://www.mediafire.com/?hmdt5k41kvsyqt6

Download and run the Windows 10 VS Tools Installer for Vs2015 Enterprise and select the Windows 10 Development tools. This reinstalls everything relates to Windows 10 development.
