Cannot open Package.appxmanifest in Visual Studio 2015

I started porting my application to the Windows 10 Universal App today, starting as an empty project. However, I cannot open the Package.appxmanifest file in Visual Studio, even when I right-click and select View Code (F7). It says: "It is not possible to load one or more of the requested types. Get more information about the LoaderExceptions object." Any solution for this?

I fixed it by uninstalling the Apache Cordova toolkit.
