Unable to create web project using VS 2005


Unable to create web project using VS 2005 Nam
6/16/2006 8:52:02 AM
visual studio .net setup:
I have installed 2005 Visual Studio Team Edition Software Developers. When I
try to create a new web project, I do not see 'Web' Project type in the ‘New
Project’ window. I see only the following types:

Windows
Office
SmartDevice
Database
Starter Kits
Test

I was expecting to see ‘Web’ in the above list as well as it was included in
VS 2003 and earlier versions.

Can someone please tell why Web item is missing from the above list

Hi,

Use "File : New Website..."

Make sure you understand everything about the new VS2005
solution/project/website model before you do this by reading the docs.

If I'm not mistaken, we can no longer create Web project in VS2005 but 'Web
Site' instead. However, I'm currently facing a problem whereby when select to
create new web site, I can no longer see the Web site templates but other
project templates such as Windows Application, Class Lirbary etc. I tried to
uninstall VS2005 (planned to re-install) but hit the following error:

"Setup is unable to determine a valid ordering for the installation. See the
error log for further details."

When I tried to repair it, it gave me an error again after a long repair
with twice reboots. Am I reaching a dead end? For your information, I did
uninstall my FrontPage 2003, are they related? Does 3rd party's Windows XP
Visual Style modifiers affect this as well? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Antonio

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the feedback. But the error log seems to be quite lengthy and too
technical for me to understand it. Can't paste it here either. I tried to
reinstall IIS and run the repair again but same result. Running the
Aspnet_regiis.exe also doesn't fix the problem.

Now I really can't do anything about it...can't even safely remove
VS2005...sad... :(

By default yes, but I believe there's an add-in you can download to
re-enable the old VS2003 "web project" model.

What did the error log say?

I don't think FP2003 would affect this.

Hi Gerry,

I have found the root cause of the problem. It's due to the registry cleaner
of Windows Live Safety Center. The following solves the problem:

1. Go to Folder Options and show all hidden files.

2. Go to 'C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Windows Live
Safety Center\BackUp' folder. You should be able to see the .REG file(s) and
its correspodning XML files.

3. Sort the files by Modified Date in descending order and double-click the
latest .REG file to restore the registry.

4. Try running VS2005 and create a new Web site. If the New Web Site
templates do not appear, repeat step 3 and 4 but using the earlier .REG file.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Antonio,

OK.

Yes, the web server itself and ASP metabase mappings are not really
related to the VS2005 installer.

You can just clarify exactly what you click and which screens you see
BEFORE the error? e.g.

I'm running Windows xyz, I go into control panel and choose abc, I see a
screen that says pqr, and then a dialog pops up with title bar ijk, and
then an error with number xxxyyy occurrs.

Hi Antonio,

Glad you found the problem! Out of interest, what on earth is "Windows
live Safety Center"?

I have a similar problem. Installed VS2005 on new hard drive. Now,
when I click File > New the only options that appear are Project and
File. How do I get the Website to display?

Hi Dave,

Are you sure you installed the Visual Web Developer component at install
time? Maybe if you do "Add/Remove", then choose "change", you'll be able
to see which features are installed (then either cancel out, or install
more stuff). It's a bit strange, I thought it was installed by default...
