I created a multi project template for use with VS2017, including a console application and two shared projects. I can see the template showing up, but whenever I try using it to create a new project I get an error stating that the "projitems"-file of the first shared project was not found in the path \AppData\Local\Temp\<seemingly randomly generated name>\<SharedProjectName>\<SharedProjectName>.projitems. After I dismiss the error the solution is still created, but only the shared projects are in there.
The situation is reproducable by using this template I uploaded to my OneDrive:

And I created the template using this simple solution:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!At78FKXjEGEoh7F_QkSugfzie8I0mg
What I did is:
- Exported each of the projects individually using "Project" -> "Export Template...".
- Extracted the exported ZIP files to represent the desired folder structure. Each project got its own folder as you can see in the project template ZIP file.
- Created a "vstemplate"-file with the help of MSDN, and included the three project files with their relevant paths.
- Zipped the three folders and the new "vstemplate"-file up and moved it to the Visual Studio templates folder (Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#).
What did I do wrong?
