SUMMARY

After install of AVR for .NET Opening Visual Studio and choosing New/Project or Solution, or New/Website,  AVR templates are not installed.

DETAILS

After installing AVR for .NET version 8X or 9X project ans/or website templates do not show as choices in the dialog boxes. Running a repair on the AVR installation in Add Remove Programs does not resolve the issue.

CAUSE

If the OS language ID is different than the VS language ID, the installation will use the OS language to set the Template folders.  Visual Studio is then unable to find the templates. 

RESOLUTION

Create folder '1033' in the following 3 paths:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio X\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\AVR
          Where X is the version of Visual Studio. 

           (This screen shot is from VS2008 so the path is \VisualRPG not \AVR)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Windows\VisualRPG\
and
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web\VisualRPG\

Then copy all objects from the OS Specific folder that already exists in that path
(2057, 2058 or other language), and paste into the 1033 folder created at the same path.


Run command 'devenv /installVStemplates' at the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt window.
Access the VS Comand Window using Ctr W,A or from the toolbar choose View/Other Windows/Command Window  
 

The template items then appear as expected after closing and re-opening Visual Studio.

*Note:  On each PC where this workaround is used, this will need to be repeated each time AVR is upgraded or un/reinstalled type resolution here
