Ok, this question is incredibly basic and I’m probably missing something blatantly obvious. But I just downloaded Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 because I’m relearning C++. And I cannot, for the life of me, find how to create a basic C++ project. Nothing special. Just a blank C++ project containing files with the .cpp extension. In VS, I go to File>New Project>Installed>Templates>Visual C++. All that’s in there is xaml related or other far more complicated stuff than what I want to deal with (e.g. Direct3D App).

Thanks in advance.

    If you downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012, make sure you obtained the correct version (Windows, Web, Phone, etc.).
