Web Publishing Extension not installed in Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 trying to publish my app, but when I try to do so I get the error:

The Web Publishing Extension is not installed which is required to publish. You can install it from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=208120

I tried repairing Visual Studio and reinstalling Azure SDK for VS 2015 but the problem persists. I wanted to try the solution posted here but I don't have a folder named Publish in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\

Any idea about what can be the problem? I found a lot of post in SO about this problem but can't find any solution when there isn't any folder named Publish. I'm on Windows 10.

Answer 1

Solved it by reinstalling Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools using Visual Studio Extensions and Updates menu (Tools -> Extensions and Updates...)
