My English in not good so do not laugh at me !! :)

I have installed Visual Studio Community 2015 but Windows 10 universal app tools (include Windows 10 mobile emulator etc ) did not install with it!!

Can I download this tools as an ISO or exe file?

It seems we can download and add this tools just through Visual Studio installer?

But I want an ISO file, so I can download it with my IDM and reinstall it for my friends or my other PC's.

Anyone can help me?

There is a point in the installation where you can set which features you want to install together with Visual Studio. Make sure you have checked Universal Windows App Development Tools.

Feature selection

When the installation is completed, start your Visual Studio and you should be able to create UWP project by selecting Blank App (Universal Windows) in New Project dialog.

There is both ISO and Web installer of Visual Studio Community 2015. As far as I know the Universal App Development tools are not part of the ISO installer and they are downloaded during the installation.

UPDATE: Windows Standalone SDK for Windows 10 allows you to download offline installer for installation on other computers.
