Does Visual Studio Express 2015 supports Windows Store Apps?

I'm trying to run a solution by double click on the .sln file and an error message appear:

The following project are not supported by either this edition of visual studio or the version of windows installed on this computer....

According the book i'm working with, the .sln runs great on VS Express for windows desktop 2012& Windows 8.
In my computer i'm running Windows 10 and VS Express for windows desktop 2015. The .csproj contain the line

<ProjectGuid>{B73C2F01-B48F-4D86-8F43-37A24023F66A}</ProjectGuid>

I realized that it means Windows Store Apps. Doesn't Visual Studio Express 2015 supports Windows Store Apps? If the answer is "No" that means that the book delivers wrong information (as i had already said, the book author says that the solution runs great on the Express Desktop version).

VS Express for windows desktop 2015

For Windows desktop means you can make desktop apps (aka Win32).

To make Windows store (UWP/WinRT) apps, you can download the Community or the Express for Windows edition
