Since you're using VS 2015 x86, you should start a 32bit version of PowerShell/PowerShell ISE as Administrator (won't work if you just' start it without elevated rights, will give you an error) and change ExecutionPolicy to RemoteSigned, like this
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
and after, restart your Visual Studio. Personally, I don't have it here to test, but think this will fix the error you're getting.
