Missing Scaffolding Options in ASP.NET MVC 3 Add Controller Dialog

Question

I have downloaded and installed the release version of ASP.NET MVC 3 (File version: 1.13.113.0), Created a new project of type ASP.NET MVC 3 web application.

When I right click on Controllers folder=>Add Controller, The Add Controller dialog doesn't have any scaffolding option. It just contains a textbox for Controller name and a checkbox to add action methods for CRUD scenarios.

should I do anything to view the Scaffolding options (Template, Model Class, Data Context Class and View) in Add controller dialog box?

In the Web Platform Installer 3.0 you can find something called "ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update" Install that one and you get the Scaffolding options and some other stuff.

It looks like this now is included with VS 2010 SP1. Or, at least, I couldn't find it in the Web Platform Installer, but when I installed SP1 it listed the Tools Update as one of the prereqs it was going to install. – Finster Jan 11 '12 at 21:59

Yes agreed it takes forever to install via web platform installer. Use link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=1491 to download and install.

ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update can take a while, but it fixed it for me.

If you tell Web Platform Installer to update Visual Studio it will take basically forever, I had to force shutdown and try again just doing MVC 3.

Thanks Beijer.
