Question

I got an issue with Visual Studio, Silverlight 5 Beta SDK and XNA.

I did a fresh install of all Visual Studio components I need to create the application I have in mind:

1. Visual C# 2010 Express
2. XNA Game Studio 4.0
3. Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
4. Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
5. Visual Studio 2010 SP1
6. Silverlight 5 Beta Tools

However, when I start VS 2010 Express for Windows Phone and go to create a new project these are the templates I have:

Missing Templates

But there are a few templates missing.

How can I make appear the following templates:
Full list of templates

So what am I missing in this? I believe I installed everything and still nothing appears.
Is it because I’m using the express edition of visual studio? it doesn’t make much sense though.

Answer 1

You installed that SDK correctly (uninstalled a previous installed SDK version correctly too)?

You could try and reset your vs2010 settings. This sometimes helps to restore missing project templates. You can do so like this:

• Go to Tools / Import Export Settings
• Choose to “Reset all Settings”
• Restart Visual Studio

No guarantees but that helped me once before, so it is probably worth a try.
