Is there an automated way in VS2015 to add all the “standard” web api/MVC bits?

Question

I've read a couple of times that "It doesn't matter if you don't include MVC, you can add it in later!". What I was hoping for is a way to bring up the original wizard where you select Web.API/MVC/Forms and have it create all the directories and default files.

I can't find that as an option though.

Go to "Add or Remove Programs" and try to uninstall Visual Studio. This will bring up a dialog that allows to:

• Modify
• Repair
• Uninstall

Now just click "Modify" and you'll be able to add / remove features to your Visual Studio installation. Under "Windows and Web Development" there is a "Microsoft Web Developer Tools" you want to check.
