Prism: [TemplatePack] VS2013 throws exception loading module editor

VS2013 throws an error when loading the module editor because of assembly references not available.

This is because the editor was built using VS2015 using the latest 14.0 version SDK assemblies. Either find a way to fix this so that VS2013 users can use the template pack, or change the requirements to only allow VS2015.

I am waiting to see if Microsoft can get the two missing VS2013 VS SDK assemblies on NuGet so that I can update the extension. If they don't do this, then I have two options; install the VS2013 SDK and re-reference everything, or simply restrict the use of the extension to VS2015 only.
