This is the first time I am trying to create a Visual Studio extension. I installed Visual Studio 2015 (update 3) and after that I installed the Extensibility Tools (Features / Common Tools / Visual Studio Extensibility Tools Update 1).

However, when I try to create a new project, it does not show me the required templates (VSIX, etc.), instead I see 'Install Visual Studio Extensibility Tools' option. I have tried installing again, but still I am not able to see the templates.

Is there anything in addition to the steps above that I need to do to be able to start using the Extensibility tools?

  • When you install Update 3, the setup should show a "Visual Studio Extensibility Tools Update 3" checkbox. Go to Control Panel, Program and Features, Visual Studio 2015, Change, and select that checkbox. – Carlos Quintero Jul 12 '16 at 07:39
  • I did that ... But it wasn't showing update 3, instead it was showing update 2 – Rashmi Pandit Jul 13 '16 at 04:36
