I have VS2012 Express Web installed on my machine and can create all different kinds of Projects with exception of MVC3/MVC4 apps. When I click OK on the New Project dialog I get the Select A Template dialog. I notice that the Create a Unit Test Project checkbox is Disabled. Selecting any of the choices (such as Internet Application) gives me this same error: The system cannot find the file specified (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002).
I have uninstalled and deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\VWDExpress\ProjectTemplatesCache and ItemsTemplateChache - and after removal deleted the entire VWDExpress directory so the fresh install would recreate all the templates. I've tried both the web-installer as well as the .iso installer. Has anyone seen this problem or have any idea why I can't create MVC3/MVC4 projects?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have posted to the MSDN Newgroup and not had any luck there.
regards,
Bill
I had the same problem with a full installation of Visual Studio 2012. Uninstalling Visual Studio and everything it came with (SQL Server localDB, Silverlight SDKs etc), restarting, then reinstalling Visual Studio made it work.
Prior to re-installing, I ran ProcessMonitor during an attempt to create an MVC4 app and it kept trying to find an "extension.vsixmanifest" file but couldn't. I'm not sure which one, since I didn't try reinstalling all my extensions; maybe that will help.

Getting this error when I select a "publish target" in VS 2015 update 3. Had a look for a while online but didn't see anything, so any help would be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.
An error has occurred while processing the request: Method 'StopRemoteProfiler' in type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.AzureWebSite' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Impl, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' does not have implementation
I updated to the to Azure sdk 2.9.6 last night because of a different issue but related where there was no error, but no existing apps were listed.
I can confirm that this works on my work computer and I have existing apps on Azure, but not working on my home computer.
I am a bit loath to uninstall and reinstall VS, so any help would be appreciated. Of course, if the only solution is to reset, then so be it.
Thanks,

I faced the same problem. This is what worked for me.
I updated the "Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2" by going to Menu -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates -> Visual Studio Gallery. It shows all the available updates for your version of studio. Select the component to update. It should download a file named "DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe" or something similar. When you run this file, if you have the software already installed then select the repair option. It will ask you to close any running instances of Visual Studio, also make sure you have internet connection.
Also if you are using Web Deploy to publish your app make sure you have Microsoft Web Deploy v3 or higher installed or you will get error. You can do it using Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
Hope it helps.
I am using visual studio pro 2012 edition, one of our developers updated the wsdl definitions on a webservice without telling us and for a while i couldnt figure out why the wsdl definitions werent being updated. I did clean and build of the services, stopped the site and even exited IIS Express. Turns out if you have the solution open in visual studio with the old wsdl definition, the new definitions are not updated after pulling latest(svn). I tried several times and the only solution is to close visual studio and restart using the latest codebase.
anyone else experience this? could be a bug in vs2012 only?
I figured out what happened, my colleague copied over the hidden folder .vs folder which had the applicationhost.config file pointing to their username, vs2012 does not give any errors and happily runs the service but it serves the old pages. VS2015 shows an error page which is how i found out the problem.
I am creating an Excel document level add-in in Visual Studio 2013 but am having trouble deploying it.
The application runs on my computer no problem. It also runs on another computer I have that has Visual Studio installed but when I try and install it on a computer that doesn't have Visual Studio installed I get the below error message.
I have been unable to find the exact route of the problem. I have tried unclicking the Sign ClickOnce Deployment check box but to no avail.
I also tried using InstallShield (similar security issues) but would prefer to use ClickOnce.
Thank you in advance.
This has been the case unfortunatly for the past couple of months. I can't install new or update packages from Tools ==> Extensions and Updates I tried everything, yet I am unable to find the reason.
I've tried :
Access NuGet and download packages from "Package Manager Console" Install-Package = SUCCESS
Access repositories using Web browsers, Visual studion internal browser = SUCCESS
Same window in Visual Studio 2010 = SUCCESS
Visual Studio 2012 - Doesn't work
Visual Studio 2010 - Works!
As it turns out for some reason -possibly due to an RC-, My registry settings were pointing to a different url that was getting redirected.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\ExtensionManager\Repositories
AND I changed
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\ExtensionManager\Repositories{0f45e408-7995-4375-9485-86b8db553dc9}(Default)
to
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/Services/v2011/Extension.svc
instead of
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=251029
I changed
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\ExtensionManager\Repositories{aeb9cb40-d8e6-4615-b52c-27e307f8506c}(Default)
to

Remove the local cache of extensions and download them all again.
The easiest thing to do is to rename
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Visual Studio version\Extensions\
to
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Visual Studio version\Extensions.old\
and run visual studio, it will update recreate the folder.
WeSam Abdallah's hint worked perfectly for me! Just try to open the link provided in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\ExtensionManager\Repositories{0f45e408-7995-4375-9485-86b8db553dc9}(Default) in your browser and see what it is changed to automatically. For Visual Studio 2013 I had to change the URL from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=309922 to https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/services/dev12/extension.svc
This answer is an update for Visual Studio 2015.
I tried the registry hack as well as renaming the Extensions folder, and neither solution worked.
However, in my case, the issue seems to have been because I'm behind a proxy at work. This worked for me:

I'm using Visual Studio 2012, update 1 on a Windows 8 machine. When I try to start a new win32 project using the application wizard something weird appens:
the windows that welcomes to the wizard has three empty bullets under "these are the current project settings". Both the cancel and the finish button do not work.
The folder for the application is created but no files inside.
please help!!
I solved my problem forcing a "clean" install of VS2012. ('clean' means that also the shared packages were uninstalled). Presuming that the installer I used to install VS2012 was on d:
D:\vs_premium.exe /uninstall /force
Once reinstalled, the problem was gone.
I am running Visual Studio Express 2012 for WP on Macbook via Parallels.
I did the update of VS today and could not load my project (HTML App, #C) nor create new projects afterwards.
The solution was to go to Windows program uninstall for Visual Studio Express 2012, BUT choose option "Repair". It took about the same time as the update but I was able to create new projects afterwards (my existing own app project from November 2012 also works).
Before I "repaired" the installation, I have removed manually from VS->Tools->Extensions and Updates a few packages added "Nu Get Package Manager and Packager". I am not sure if the latter is really needed.
Additional info: My VS 2012 Express for Windows8 installation worked and works w/o issues.
