visual studio 2008 asp.net project templates missing

Question

My desktop management team have just installed visual studio 2008 and there is no pluggins for asp.net ..

is this missed out while they installed visual studio?

can this to be installed again??

Answer 1

Did they install the Web Development tools? It's an option in the installer.

If you go to Help | About you should see something like:

Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008

listed in the "Installed Products" list.

Running the installer a second time, and ensuring that option is checked should resolve the issue.

Answer 2

Hey,

Double-check the project templates folder first:

and see if the templates are there. You can always try repairing the VS installation...
