Updated to the latest Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova to Update 6, but still have some issue with latest Node.JS installed (v5.6.0).
Creating a new empty project and building the first time, gives this output:

Then running the Clear Cordova Cache, this was the output:

Removing package vs-npm ...
Completed
Restarting, opening same empty project and building, gave the following output:

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
For my Visual Studio options, I have moved the $(PATH) variable to the top in the "External Web Tools", so VS uses the globally installed version of Node.JS.
There is a umask package located in the vs-npm:
C:\Users\sondr\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-npm\2.14.9\node_modules\npm\node_modules\umask
There are no umask in the vs-tac module folder, as there is no dependency on the package.json on that.
First I ran "npm install taco-cli -g".
Then I ran "npm install umask -g", which returned missing npmlog package. Then ran "npm install npmlog -g" and built the project again. Resulting in this error output:

This error occurs in the cordova folder, so I figured perhaps the issue was now related to cordova and tried "npm install cordova -g".
And then... it works!
