Web Publishing Extension not installed in Visual Studio 2015

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.

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