I have created many web application, but today when I tried the create one I was greeted with the following dialog box.

enter image description here

Has anyone run into this or have any ideas on how to fix? I have tried repairing Visual Studio. I have tried uninstalling "Microsoft Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC 5 Scaffolding" and then repairing Visual studio. I have tried a command line switch /InstallVSTemplates at the visual studio command line. I have tried the items here Reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio Asp.net MVC 5 Scaffolding extension. Nothing is working. I still have an empty dialog box shown above.

Anyone have any ideas before I completely uninstall and reinstall?

  • Running into the same problem. Not sure if it happened during the last update of Web Essentials? – MikeJansen Aug 28 '14 at 14:49

The link MikeJansen posted in the comments above fixed it. Thanks Mike!

Can't create new MVC5 project or any other ASP .NET projects in Visual Studio 2013

I followed the solution provided by xinqiu

  1. Close VS.
  2. Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
  3. Delete the following assemblies if they exist:
    1. Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll
    2. Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll
    3. Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll
