Cannot find Rhino templates in Visual Studio for new project

Plug Ins
1

@dale,

After following instructions for Installing Tools (Windows) at:
(Rhino - Installing Tools (Windows))
and then launching Visual Studio, none of the Rhino templates appear in the Create a new project dialog. I am trying to create a C++ DLL which previously used the Rhino 7 Plug-in template. But this no longer appears.

How can I gain access to the Rhino templates in Visual Studio Create a new project wizard? This was working last year but no longer does.

Regards,
Terry.

Did you install the Visual Studio extension?

Yes. When I run VSIX installer, it says “This extension is already installed to all applicable products”.

Still no Rhino templates visible in Visual Studio Create new project Wizard.

Any more suggestions?

Maybe I could somehow undo what the VSIX installer did and re do it?

Regards,
Terry.

and this is the last of the items listed:

So stuff is out there just not Rhino stuff.

It seems like the VSIX installer is not working. Is there a directory I can look in to see if the Rhino templates are available? In other word, where does VSIX put templates?

Regards,
Terry.

You might try uninstalling the extension and then re-install it.

I have been unable to find the VSIX extension. What should I search for?

In VS, Click Extensions > Manage Extensions...

I found that Project templates for Rhino 3D was disabled. So I tried to enable it and got the message:

I do not see this in the list of All Installed Extensions:

Is there an easy fix to this or should I go ahead and uninstall/re-install Project templates for Rhino3D?

EDIT:
I modified my Visual Studio to include more items and was able to get VSIX to install the Rhino Templates. So now back to try building a new project for creating a C++ DLL.

Second EDIT:
I now have a new project working. Thanks for your help in pointing out key areas to investigate.

Regards,
Terry.
