I think there are something missing. Need to repare.
or
you are connecting to a remote website to create a new project or just using on local machine. if you are using remote, maybe it is connection problem.
how can i tell if it's trying to connect to remote site? I've downloaded my projects to several sites remotely before but, I never ran into problems yet?
Please make sure that project or item templates are located in <VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates or <VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates folder.
You can try to use devenv /installvstemplates command to register it.

As far as I know, the express edition doesn't have such command prompt. But you can try to use the system command prompt to run this command(Start -> Run -> cmd). First, you can change current directory to the "<VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE"
and then run the devenv /installvstemplates.
I hope this helps.

How did you do this? Did you get any error message? This action will take a few minutes.
The steps I do are following:
<div mce_keep="true">Start -> Run -> cmd</div>
<div mce_keep="true">Input "cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE", then the current execute path is ":\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE".</div>

I just recently started developing in VS2005 and ran into the same issue so this is going to be more of a newbie answer. My problem started when I loaded the DotNetNuke StarterKit. After not finding a quick answer I did stepped through what I had done
and learned that apearently the more templates and the larger they are the longer it takes to load My files are stored on another server so the first thing I did was to move my templates to my local drive.
Steps I took was as follows.
1. Copied i:\visual studio 2005\templates folder into c:\visual studio 2005\ (you can use any folder you like).
2. Opened Visual Studio 2005 --> Tools --> Options
a. Check Show All settings
b. Select projects and solutions
c. Point the two templates to the <newpath>\templates
3. You may also need to move projects to the local drive as well.
Your best bet would be to do an update/reinstall and change the location of the files.

system hangs when I click on new project
Apr 03, 2008 12:19 PM|dfornoles|LINK
Hi All,
Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition hangs when I click on new project and the system displays a template dialog box and the system just sits there..
Anyone know how to fix this? Did I do anything to create this? Did I delete a directory that I wasn't suppose to or what?
Thanks for the help.

Is this happening for windows and web applications? I'd go ahead and run a repair and see if it fixes the problem

it displays. the New Project Dialog box with nothing in it. The name is Name and Ok button unhighlighted.

How do you get to the visual studio 2005 command prompt?
Do I just run the command within the specified directory?

I checked the folders you described the last folders are missing in the directory.
I'm not sure how to run the command. I guess I need instructions on how to run the command.

do I have to install something? I guess the command files are not in the directory? or they don't come with visual studio express?
