Visual Studio 2008 is not picking up the MVC 1.0 project templates. The MVC 1.0 release is installed on my system along with .NET 3.5 SP1 (pre-reqs).
I can’t find MVC templates in the VS App’s disk folders. The folders I’m searching are:
VS 2008 (9.0)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\, subdirectory siblings: ProjectTemplates/, ProjectTemplatesCache/ and Templates/
- Note: all templates shown in VS New Project dialog are found in here
How do I find the project template and register it for Visual Studio, or is there a workaround?
For reference, my other VS installs DO have the MVC templates…
I have multiple version of VS installed including Express, 2005 Professional and 2008 Team. I’m only concerned about 2008 missing the MVC templates.
VS 2005 (8.0)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VSTA\ItemTemplates\
- no MVC templates in here – good
VS Other
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
- no templates here – good
