Description

Hi
I am new to Cordova app development.

I keep getting the following error when I try to build the default sample project in Visual Studio Community 2015 on Windows 10

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB4044 The "RunMdaInstall" task was not given a value for the required parameter "NpmInstallDir". BlankCordovaApp1 C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\ApacheCordovaTools\vs-mda-targets\Microsoft.MDA.FileMirroring.targets 287

I have reinstalled nodejs as well as apache Cordova tools and still nothing.

Can you help, please.
