Cordova-android @ update in Visual Studio 2015 RTM
When I create a default Cordova TypeScript project, the default for the project is set to cordova-android@4.0.2
.
I am using the latest 4.1.0 and would like Visual Studio 2015 to use 4.1.0 by default.
Is it possible to install the cordova android version in Visual Studio?
I would prefer not to update cordova android for every project using the command line.
Instructions for updating Cordova Android 4.1.0 using command line: http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/07/21/cordova-android-4.1.0.html

A short version of the description in the docs here looks like this:
In Visual Studio, right click on the config.xml file and select View Code and add the following below the root element in the config.xml file
<engine name="android" spec="4.1.0" />
Next, for projects where you have already built for the platform on your system, you will also need to uninstall the old version of the Cordova platform.
Open a command prompt and go to the root Cordova project (not the root of the solution) and enter the following commands:
npm install -g cordova
cordova platform remove android
The next time you build, you will now be on an updated version of the platform.
Note: platform removal is only required if you have built a version of the old platform on your computer and sometime this is one time.
