VS 2015 + Cordova + Emulator for Android = error "unable to deploy"
<p>Using the default Blank Cordova project in <code>VS2015</code> update 1, I try to publish (<code>Debug &gt; Android &gt; Device</code>) to the Android Emulator (<code>Tools &gt; Visual Studio Emulator for Android</code>) and I get the following error: </p>

<p>I am also getting the following error when I click <code>Yes</code> in the pop-up deployment errors window :</p>

<p>No luck with the following.</p>

<ul>
<li>I reinstalled <code>Android SDK Manager</code> and updated files.</li>
<li>I removed and then re-installed VS2015 community.  </li>
<li>I can use adb.exe to check for the emulator device and it sees the device.</li>
<li>The android emulator appears to be working and displaying properly. </li>
<li><code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Android SDK</code> is pointing to the correct location</li>
<li>renamed CoreCon</li>
<li>Ran Dependency Checker (Tools > Options > Tools for Apache Cordova) </li>
<li>I can deploy the .apk package on the Android emulator using adb install folder\location\xxx.apk</li>
</ul>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>
