I have a problem with publishing an app in VS 2017 with the Publishing Wizard. I found a stackoverflow post:
Compile a .NET Core application as an EXE file using Visual Studio 2017
But when I want to go to this menu it only opens an old Publishing Wizard that doesnt have the options I need.
I tried to update my VS 2017 to the newest Version, but it didnt help...
After that I tried to use the first approach of the stackoverflow post above, but I didnt have dotnet(???) so installed .NET 7 SDK. Tried the command in the project directory (where the .csproject lays), but I got the error: MSB4062. So Im back trying to get the new publisher, because I really dont know how to fix MSB4062.

The Publish Wizard is usually the first time you publish a project and will guide you to publish the project to the specified location.
After completing the Publish Wizard, you will find Publish Settings in the Publish view and configure it. Hope it can help you
I needed a .NET Core / .NET console app, but I had a .NET FRAMEWORK console app.
And to create a .NET Core / .NET console app I needed Visual Studio 2022 (maybe 2019 is enough), but I had Visual Studio 2017.
This fixed everything for me.

Yes, i've tried devenv/install, with no help.
So, I don't have the Console C# Project option when creating the project,
as shown here
Currently i have installed windows basic pack - there's my 'about' screen.
I have just reinstalled Windows because i was getting the same exact problem on old system, and because VS2015 had interface bugs and crashed consequently, but it didn`t help(as well as reinstalling both VS 2015 and 2017 numerous times)
Hope that you can guess whats wrong with my PC.
Visual Studio 2017 setup allows you to very fine-grainedly install various "components" separately, or groups of components delivered as "workloads".
You're missing the workload named ".NET desktop development", which contains among others these project templates. So re-run setup and install that workload.
You have a link, Open Visual Studio Installer in a New Project window that will allow you modify your installed components
This is my first time of using Visual Studio 2015 Community with Xamarin, and in using them to create Tizen apps.
In Visual Studio 2015, I chose File - New Project - Blank Tizen App (Tizen Xamarin.Forms Single). The files were generated, but virtually every keyword was not recognized i.e. red underline on them.
What configuration is wrong is my system, and how to fix them?
OK, so I did the following and it fixed this problem (somehow):
1. Uninstalled VS2015.
2. Reinstalled VS2015. I encountered installation failure on Roslyn and NDK-R11C.
3. I Ran VS2015 installer again in elevated mode (Run as Admin) and chose Repair. Roslyn was successfully installed but NDK-R11C was still failed, with the same error as before: Cannot extract the zip file to the target location.
4. Manually I ran the extraction of NDK using windows' default unzipper. I got unclear error message stating that NDK cannot be expanded.
5. Using Norton Commander, Extracted the zip file to the same target location. Success.
6. Ran VS2015, created the blank project. Now NuGet could get the updates, and after that the keywords were properly recognized.
I don't know, though, what was the connection between NDK and Tizen Extension. Maybe the act of reinstalling VS2015 just fixed the problem. At least now I got it now. Thanks all!.
I think it's bug of VS plugin. (it's preview version.)
Project - Unload project and Project - Reload project
I think this should solve your problem.
I have an empty RC2 WebAPI created using Yeoman and I can restore, build and run it both using command line (dotnet) and using Visual Studio. Unfortunately I cannot publish my project. When I right click and choose "Publish.." nothing happens.
So, I tried to open the "Web Publish Activity" window and create publish from there, but then I receive an error saying that Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Publish.Core.Contracts.IProfileCreator cannot be loaded. I have the most recent version of the Azure SDK (2.9.1) and to my knowledge the latest VS update (Visual Studio Professional 2015, Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2).
I have tried to install/update/repair this extension as described here but I cannot seem to find it, unsure if this is replaced by the "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools" which I have installed and updated. Thinking that it might be related to this, I also tried devenv /updateconfig and devenv /setup as administrator. No success.
Any ideas?
When I create a Xamarin.Forms application using Visual Studio Community 2015 Community on Windows 8.1 it shows me this error on load:
A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'App1.WinPhone'. This project requires a Visual Studio update to load. Right-click on the project and choose 'Download Update'
I've installed all updates available and trying on a newly installed Windows.
Note: I had this error in Forms.
How can I fix this error?
Note: There isn't a Download Update option in Solution Explorer.
Navigate to where you saved the project files that you created in Visual Studio. Default location is C:\Users\PSDan\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects.
Open the project folder that you are experiencing problems with and navigate to C:\Users\PSDan\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\test\test\test.Windows folder. Inside this folder is a file called test.Windows.csproj.
Right click on that file and open with... using Visual Studio, by doing this it should detect the missing package and in my case automatically prompted to install the missing package.
I've been seeing similar errors for .Window or .WindowPhone and what I've observed is that it is due to missing SDK. Same might be the case with you.
Do you see App1.Droid appearing in the solution? (I guess NO)
Go to file explorer and locate App1.Droid.csproj (..\App1\App1.Droid\App1.Droid.csproj) and open this in a new instance. There it will pop up "Install Missing Feature" dialog and you can follow the steps to install missing components.
If your issue is the same as here:
Project required a Visual Studio update
then you may try and see if this solution works:
[Cause is] a mismatch of the target framework version and profile in the .csproj file. Despite the target framework being correct in the project Properties, they were not being correctly saved for whatever reason. Thus, when trying to install a utility library from nuGet, it left my project in the state you described.
The solution was to go by this site:
Framework Profiles in .NET
and find the correct combination, then manually edit the .csproj file to adjust <TargetFrameworkProfile> and <TargetFrameworkVersion>.
Installing Visual Studio Update 3 with selected features "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1" and "Cross Platform Mobile Development" solved the problem for me.
Uninstall Xamarin completely, and reinstall it. That happened to me as well. I would uninstall Visual studio too. Install that first, then install Xamarin.
Edit: I know this sucks to do, but it was what the Xamarin team had me do to resolve it. As far as I know this is the official fix as of last week.
I've installed Visual Studio 2013 Premium (MSDN license) on my machine. Yet, the ASP.NET Web Application template is not there (except for Version2012, which offers me MVC 4, see screenshot below):
I have uninstalled and reinstalled VS2013 three times now. I've deleted the ItemTemplatesCache and ProjectTemplatesCache folders along with running the devenv /InstallVSTemplates and devenv /Setup to no avail. I've also checked to make sure web developer tools are installed. Under the \Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplatesCache\CSharp\Web folder, I only see MVC 4 template files. Am I missing something? An extension or additional program?
Below I added a screenshot of the frameworks I have installed. Any direction or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Jodie.
I think that "Re-install Visual Studio from scratch" is not a solution.
I have faced with the described problem and found much faster way to fix it:
First of all, try to repair Visual Studio installation (in "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" find your Visual Studio, right-click and select "Repair"). Reboot after (!).
Check if template appeared in the Visual Studio. If not, then: in the "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" make sure that you have "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 4.x" installed (I have 4.6 version). If not - install it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
Run "Web Platform Installer" (it should be here: "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\WebPlatformInstaller.exe")
On the "Products" tab find the line "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 for Visual Studio 2013" (make sure that it is not for 2012!). If line has "Add" button on the right side enabled, then click it and install the tools. Reboot PC (!) and you should have your ASP.NET project template back.
If line says "Installed", then you should repair it via "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features", just find "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 -Visual Studio 2013", right-click and select "Repair"). Reboot PC (!) and you should have your ASP.NET project template back!
Cheers!
After many hours of troubleshooting, these are the steps I took to fix the issue (on Windows 7 Ultimate). I assumed it was an issue with a corrupt installation and possible problems with registry keys, so I removed any and all Microsoft development tools using the following steps:
FULL VIRUS SCAN (just to make sure this was not related to a virus or malware). I used Microsoft Security Essentials
Downloaded Microsoft FixIt to help clean up registry keys as I deleted programs. After I deleted any program or program updates, I ran this tool to verify a clean uninstall had been done
Visual Studio 2010 - Ran the Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility and removed the program. Went into Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program > View Installed Updates and searched for 'Visual Studio 2010', then removed any updates associated with VS2010 (and ran the FixIt program after every uninstall to verify the registry keys had been wiped)
Followed this MSDN post to remove Visual Studio 2012 (paying particular attention to the 'Optional Shared Packages' and removed any and all programs under this list, again running Microsoft FixIt to verify the registry keys were wiped)
Followed this blog post from Shawn Harrison to remove all SQL server; also referenced these two MSDN posts Uninstall an Existing Instance of SQL Server (Setup) and SQL Server Files Left After Uninstall
Uninstalled Visual Studio 2013, along with all references to 'Visual Studio 2013' in programs and installed updates; used FixIt to clean up registry keys after every install
Last but not least, I removed all MVC Visual Studio-related tools, references extensions including Web Tools and Web Platform Installer
This solved my problem with missing templates :)
(I'm soooooooo grateful this was all done on an SSD, however, I think it would have taken 5x longer with an old-spinning HD)
Cheers, everyone!
Not the solution in your case, but I had a similar issue where I could not find the MVC templates. Eventually I realized that I still had .NET Framework 3.5 selected, which of course does not provide MVC... switching to .NET Framework 4.5 let me find the MVC templates again.
You already had 4.5 selected in the screenshot, but I'm just posting this here for others who might make the same mistake as I did.
Don't forget to check that "Microsoft Web Developer Tool" was actually enabled during installation see this related stackoverflow question: How do I open a csproj with ProjectTypeGuids 349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21?
"Microsoft Web Developer Tool" that was the problem for me
Have you tried updating the gallery
Tools>Extension and updates> Templates
To get up and running you could click Version 2012 under Web and get to the stock web applications templates which will provide you upto MVC 4
For MVC 5 you can either download Visual Studio 2013 Express Web, it roughly has the same ASP.NET features at Premium on MSDN License.
Update for Studio 2013:
Make sure you install express for Windows and not express for Windows Desktop. The Desktop version does not have the Web templates.
I had a similar issue with VS 2013 Web Express Update 3. After reinstalling stuff all week its fixed. I had to uninstall VS, delete the "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0" directory, and reinstall VS. There are other workarounds that are more precise.
