Can't create ASP.NET MVC* project on Visual Studio 2012

Question

I've just downloaded and installed VS2012 Ultimate RC. When I create a new ASP.NET MVC project it refuses to create it with the following error message:
"The Project File '......' cannot be opened. There is a missing project subtype. Subtype : '{E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401}' is unsupported by this installation."

thanks for help.

Have you tried repairing / reinstalling? Did you upgrade from VS11 beta or previous version? — vcsjones, Jun 07 '12 at 13:22
Yeah I'm not having any problem, sounds like a corrupted install — CD Smith, Jun 07 '12 at 13:24
It's the first time I install VS2012 and I haven't upgraded from VS11 beta — h_djebli, Jun 07 '12 at 13:27
I'm sure it's a problem of VS not MVC. I'll try a repair and see if it will work. — h_djebli, Jun 07 '12 at 13:32
I'm having the same problem, non of the suggestions I've found work. I did have a hell of a time installing VS2012 though. Only installer that worked was the SP1 update. Seems to run fine. Any idea's? — nportelli, Feb 05 '13 at 16:54

My projects are working now, but I still have another problem concerning intellisense. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10992983/intellisense-and-code-suggestion-not-working-in-vs2012-ultimate-rc – h_djebli Jun 12 '12 at 09:08
