Upgraded Excel and now visual studio won't let me run my add-in project

Question

I get the error: "The application associated with this project type isn't installed on this computer", when I try and run my visual studio Pro 2013 javascript API add-in that I have written for Excel. I had to upgrade my Excel from 2013 to 2016, so I am guessing this is the problem. i.e. the project is associated with Excel 2013 but that is no longer on my computer at all. So the question is, how do I associate my project with Excel 2016 instead of 2013. There doesn't seem to be any obvious way (as per normal with Microsoft, nothing is ever simple.) Thanks in advance.

You may need to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Office Interop Libraries here, https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/features/office-tools-vs.aspx.
