I'm trying to use Package desktop applications (Desktop Bridge) with UWP and WinFroms application. I'm following UWP with Desktop Extension guide and have to add a “Windows Application Packaging Project” from “Windows Universal” category. I'm not sure if it is because I'm using Visual Studio 15, .NET Framework 4.5.2, Windows Application Packaging Project template is missed in installed UWP platform:
What I have tried is to install Microsoft announces the Desktop to UWP Packaging Project for Visual Studio "15" which says "Desktop to UWP Packaging Project for Visual Studio "15"." but Desktop Bridge Debugging Project shows this message:

Package a .NET desktop application using the Desktop Bridge and Visual Studio Preview says "the minimum version of the .NET Framework supported by the Desktop Bridge is 4.0, even if it’s highly recommended to target at least .NET 4.6.1." I'm not sure, do I have just to change target to 4.6.1 or update VS15 to Visual Studio Community
