    Hello everyone,

    I posted some replies in some older threads but figured they might not get answered since the "answered/not answered" icon was already set to "answered". Anyway here is my problem:

    I don't have any of the ASP.NET templates installed. I'm using "Visual Studio 2005 Professional" and I did a complete install.

    I do not have any ASP.NET web site templates when I choose to create a new web site. I also tried to find them when creating a new project. They're just not there.

    I tried the following but it did nothing:
    devenv /installvstemplates
    devenv /setup

    I also tried repairing the installation. That didn't help.

    Someone please help.

    Did you try to call Microsoft tech support? I would recommend that, they are really good in doing remote diagnostic. It is really difficult to tell what is wrong without having access to the machine. Maybe certain registry entries have incorrect ACLs set so information is not stored where it is supposed to be. Maybe there is issue with AntiVirus (Karpersky seemed to be having issues with VS setup). Maybe files are corrupted on the DVD...

    Does

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web

    exists? Are there any files?

    Thanks

    This thread contains interesting advices:

    Namely

    "1/13/2006 1:15 AM by Petter Jönsson

    I'm missing a lot of templates, most notably empty Windows Form and Class.
    None of the above tips worked for me. Neither did uninstall/reinstall.
    I was able to work around the problem using the following method:

    Open the Options window in Visual Studio.
    Select Projects and Solutions.
    Change the Visual Studio user item template location to the folder where the standard templates are located ( C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates ).

    After the change, all templates showed up under the My Templates category instead of the half-empty Visual Studio installed templates in the Add New Item window."
     
    Or

    Maybe it's a problem with the security properties of the "Microsoft Visual Studio 8" folder, which is set by the VS2005 Installer. At first, "devenv /installvstemplates" doesn't work for me, but when I set "full control" for Administrator, "devenv /installvstemplates" repairs the project templates."
    Thanks

    The following worked for me:

    Open the Options window in Visual Studio.
    Select Projects and Solutions.
    Change the Visual Studio user item template location to the folder where the standard templates are located ( C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates ).

    The "Item templates" folder was pointing to my "My DocumentsDocuments\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ItemTemplates" folder by default. Now that I have made the change above I see all of the templates.

    Why does it point to the "My Documents" folder by default? Going forward am I going to miss out on some features by looking at the "Program Files" directory for my templates?

    Thank you so much for your time.

    On another note I still don't see "Mobile ASP.NET Web Site" template. Is this no longer part of VS 2005?

    Just create a regular Web site and add Mobile Form to it.
    Thanks

    Install "VS80-KB915364-X86-ENU.exe" and then install "WebApplicationProjectSetup.msi"
