Visual Studio - lost ability to create projects other than C#

Markus
6,050 Recognized Expert Expert
I recently installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional. On the initial install it gave me a list of options, something to do with optimizing Visual Studio. It gave you the option to optimize it for C#, J#, basically whatever you primarily worked with. I selected C#. It did give you an option to utilise all of the projects, but I silly neglected that.

Now, when I go to create a new project I'm only able to create C# projects. The problem is that I cannot access the setup projects, which is what I got the professional edition for.

Is there a way to access all the available projects?

I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled, but when I install again, it no longer gives me the option to optimize for the language I use, but uses C# like I gave the first time.

Hmm, well I've got it going now.

I did a full uninstall again, but this time I uninstalled all the other components that Visual Studio installs. That seems to get rid of any configuration, I guess.

Did you check under "Other Project Types"?

Usually, it asks you when you first use it which language you want to use, and then it customizes your interface for that language, but all the other options are still there, just under "Other Languages" or "Other Project Types"


Also, if you go to Tools->Import and Export Settings...
You can reset your environment to one of the defaults, and you can back up your current settings.

I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon: At my Office, Visual Studio takes a very long time to compile our solution (more than 1 minute for the first project). At home, Visual Studio compiles the same solution much faster (about 10 seconds for the first project). My home computer is only marginally faster than the one I have at the office (P4 2.53 vs. P4 2.4, same amount of RAM). On the slow machine, the CPU usage is very low,...

I've been creating some toy ASP.NET apps in an effort to understand the technology. I've something odd with regards to project/solution creation. If you create a new asp.net application, it appears that the project files get created in the URL specified Location field on the New Project dialog box. This makes sense to me. What is confusing is that the solution file gets created in a folder with the same name as the location folder (the...

Hello, I am starting 2 new projects to deliver in January 2006. I want to create them in Asp.Net 2.0 using Visual Studio 2005.

I just want to know other peoples' views about this. Now that VS2005 is out, how do people feel about visual editors? Personally I am so comfortable with hand coding that Visual Studio along with other comparable tools seem to slow me down or just don't provide enough value to what I'm doing. I truly hope I'm missing the point and really want to discover something about Visual Studio that makes me want to switch, but until then, I just...

We all know that Visual Studio is a great IDE, but I think we can all agree that it is adds a dramatic change to how we write code.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
