Mike,

Can you run the VS installer (choose Modify for VS2015 in the Apps &
features panel thingy), and ensure Programming Languages | Visual C++ |
Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015 is checked?

If it isn't, check it and click UPDATE.

If it is, then unfortunately I have no idea why you don't get those
entries.  They're not hard to create manually, they're shortcuts to cmd
running the appropriate vsvarsall.bat command.

For the x64 build I have the following in the target:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64

Using PowerShell to dump out the shortcut gives:

PS> $sh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.shell
PS> $t = $sh.CreateShortcut("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2015\Visual Studio Tools\Windows Desktop
Command Prompts\VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt.lnk")
PS> $t
