VS 2019 Project Template not found

[surfrider]

In stalled Visual Studio 2019 with the Cpp4Robots extension.
Toolbar is visible, I can open the example projects in the Program Files folder.
But when I try to create a new project, the Project Template is not found.

Any ideas?

Hi,

can you check if "Desktop development with C++" is included in your Visual Studio installation?

• Start Visual Studio Installer(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe)

• Press the button "Modify"

• Check the component "Desktop development with C++"

Yes, "Desktop development with C++" is installed. Both that is the online installed workload.

Maybe one of the others is needed?

1. Can you see this zip file? c:\Users\<user>\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Cpp4Robots\Lego\LegoEV3.zip

2. Can you select these options when creating a new project?
Language: C++
Platform: Lego Mindstorms
Project type: Cpp4Robots

3. You can start Visual Studio with logging.
Example: c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /log "c:\Temp\vslog.txt"
Then send me this log file to email: support@cpp4robots.cz

Item 1 might be the problem.
The Template Zip file is is C:\<User>\Documents .... folder as you have written.
But that is not the location of the "my documents" folder.
I think your installer does not use the "my documents" folder location but is hard coded to the standard my documents folder.

I copied the Cpp4Robots folder (including the zip file) to the correct folder. Now the template is found and it works.

Hi,

We are pleased that the repair was successful.

You can tell us exactly which way was right and which was wrong.
Thank you very much.
