I recently installed Visual Studio Community 2017 15.5.2 version for C++ basically and I am unable to find the option of Win32 Console Application.
I have already read many post to fix it but can't. Yes, I have installed C++ in VS. I have installed the following workloads:
Desktop development with C++ and
.NET desktop development.
I have tried to install packages through VS command prompt but it didn't fix my issue. I have tried reinstalling it and repairing it but didn't find anything. I tried to find it in File -> New -> Project -> Visual C++ -> Windows Desktop -> Windows Desktop Wizard -> ... but there was no option.
I want to develop simple games in C++ so i need Win32 console application option in VS. I have installed similar packages in the VS installer but it didn't help!
I have looked for it in many options but didn't got what i wanted! I have also read many posts and forums to fix it but cannot. I almost tried everything they said in those forums!
If someone knows the solution please explain it briefly and tell me which packages to install or what to do?
Also tell me possible reasons for the cause so i can fix it on my own. And if not possible tell me an alternative to it.
seems that your not alone. The problem is know well, and already asked in Microsoft forum.
From their side they say not change has been apply in last updates, just few re-implement.
You may see same question here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/93159/cant-find-win32-console-application-for-new-projec.html
In that case, what i would suggest you, is to install VS 2015 that still working well.
Good luck body.

I am a beginner and follow the lessons from the c++ CryEngine documentation. But the problem is that I can't go any further until I generate a solution for the c++ project
I don't even have an icon for the corresponding buttons in the menu
I can provide a couple of screenshots
I tried different versions of the engine to solve the problem with generating the solution for the project, but all in vain

Open up Visual Studio Installer and make sure you have the latest Windows SDK installed, besides the one required by Cryengine.
For me it was Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0).
I've tried installing the Qt tools for Visual Studio 3 times now. Each time, the results are not usable. All the instructions I'm seeing on the web are from clearly much earlier versions. The main problem I'm having now is that the Qt UI application template isn't showing up in the list of project types. I've seen instructions that say I should see a Qt menu item in VS and that isn't happening, but maybe that's from a past version. Does anyone have any experience with how to correctly install the Qt Tools in the current Visual Studio version?
A secondary question is, assuming one gets the tools installed, can you use the VS designer view, when using Qt form elements?
Thanks in advance.
I know this might sound extremely dumb, but I can't find the console application template in visual studio 2015. When installed I clicked on custom and selected everything so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of adding files later on so of course I have visual c++ installed. But for some reason there's no console application template.
Any ideas?
I'm using the community edition.
It's located under Templates->Visual C++->Win32->Win32 Console Application.
If you cannot find it there, it probably means you did not install the Windows SDK. Go to the Control Panel->Programs and Features, select Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015, right click on it and select Change.
The SDK is hidden quite well in the list of installable features. You can find it under Windows and Web Development->Universal Windows App Development Tools. Make sure the Windows 10 SDK is selected. By default it's not and I tend to forget to check it when installing VS2015 because it's so damn well hidden.
SOLVED !!!
it is generally with windows 10 or xp
so when you go to visual c++ there is option of install windows support for ...
and let it download
bingo!!
next time you can see it there
install these two
after installation
I have same problem. This is the way of show before i fix it.
then check you have proper internet connection. net double click and install both. now you can create c++ project.
This is new appearance..
thank you.
Unable to download using VS2015 installer. Even when set to download from internet it will fail
Better download winsdksetup.exe at https://developer.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/
i've been googling before posting this but i havent been able to find anything on the topic.. yet i dont think its a very tricky one so please forgive for posting :o).
for a new job i am getting into C++, and following some tutorials. in particular one is about MFC, it shows how to create a project , selecting MFC application and so on. So, i installed Visual C++ Express 2010 on both a vista and a Win 7, and both time i had the same issue: when i go to new project , I have no "MFC" menu . some screenshots from that tutorial , and from some other on Visual C++ 2010 clearly show that it can be there. to be more specific, on corner left I have "installed templates" , then "Visual C++" and "CLR", Win32" and "General" , no MFC.
as these are "installed templates", i guess i should have to install it, but i found no clear indication on the topic; from what i found it should more or less be there from the beginning ... i also found a way to add MFC DLL through creating a Win32 application, but it doesnt seem its exactly the same thing .. I spent also some time on the menus of Visual C++ but did not find any clear way to add new templates like in Eclipse...
Well, I hope I made myself clear, i think this is pretty basic but if anyone could give me a hand on that one i'd greatly appreciate.
Cheers
Vincent
Visual Studio C++ Express does not support creating MFC applications.
If you don`t mind the leaking of unicode support, you can downlaod the visual studio 2013 express for desktop and install the free mfc mbcs supportfrom microsoft.com
I installed Windows Phone Developer Tools.
I can create the projects with Blend 4 or VS Express Edition.
I want to use the templates in Visual Studio 2010 Pro.
I can see the Windows Phone Game Template under XNA Studio but the other main templates are missing.
I can see them at this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight for Windows Phone\1033
I reinstalled the Dev Tools many times but my VS2010 Pro can't load the templates!
Any solution?
Thanks,
Regards.
The directory your looking at is for individual files the directory that you need to be looking for if you want to create new WP7 projects is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight for Windows Phone\1033
Did you try to reset the settings of VS with the command
devene.exe /InstallVSTemplates
or maybe
devene.exe /InstallVSTemplates /ResetSettings ?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241279.aspx
If that file exists, you can access the templates by first selecting language, and then looking under the language for the template. For instance, expand "Vishual C#", and you will see "Silverlight for Windows Phone as one of the template sets.
You could have an earlier version of the phone tools already installed causing the template install to silently fail. Look for it on Add/Remove programs.
Otherwise it could be a corrupted VS install. Try to repair or uninstall/reinstall
Ideally, the developer setup should automatically install it for you. In case you are having issues, check this post... and let us know if it helped.

Three thoughts come to mind. Well, besides the obvious thought, how frustrating it must be.
A. Sometimes installs get messed up from various ctp installs/uninstalls in untested sequences. Feel free to try this that I wrote during WP7 CTP to try and help people resolve install issues. It helped some people deal with install issues. This may be a little overcatious, but doesn't take much longer. When it came time to install RTM I was able to do a single uninstall WPDT and install the tools, no hassles since.
Known Good March -> April CTP Un/Install Sequence
B. Alternatively, if something is super messed up, try a clean install of Win7 on a spare hard disk. At least if it works you're more informed and can decide whether a clean OS or more tinkering is a better use of your time.
C. Do a BeyondCompare (or other directory comparison) to a friends install or an install on another PC, find what's different, copy the appropriate files over.
it was a very long time ago ... but I got similar problem with Mango templates, under VS10 French version. Here the trick :
