    Have you turned on logging with `devenv.exe /log` ? Apparently there is a bug that prevents templates from being loaded that are installed in a path longer than 260 characters: [https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/534797](https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/534797) – hmqcnoesy Jul 08 '12 at 11:52
  • Make sure you select .NET 4 as the target framework. For VS2012, it only shows when .NET 4.5 is selected. – leppie Jul 13 '12 at 07:54

Make sure that you've installed the Visual Studio SP1 SDK - available here.

That has the proper templates you're looking for

EDIT: Check <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\VSSDK\ -- that's where (I think) the extensions should have been installed to. You should see a number of sub directories. See if this matches with your install:

  • ProjectTemplates
    • CSharp
      • VSIXProject.zip

If that file's not present, it would suggest that something went wrong with your install of the SDK.
