Visual Studio System.ValueTuple assembly error when creating a NodeJS project

I am running Visual Studio 2017 (15.8.0) with .NET Framework 4.6.01055 on Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB 64-bit (10.0, Build 10240).

Upon creating a new NodeJS project, for example: New->Javascript->Node.js->Blank Node.js Console Application

When the .njsproj file opens, I get this error:

Microsoft Visual Studio

Could not load file or assembly 'System.ValueTuple, Version=4.0.2.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its
dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not
match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I've uninstalled and reinstalled .NET Core and Visual Studio, yet I'm getting the same error. How can I resolve this error?

Installing .NET Framework 4.7.2 fixed this issue for me
