wizard - Visual Studio 2012 - Can't create win32 projects

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2012, update 1 on a Windows 8 machine. When I try to start a new win32 project using the application wizard something weird appens:

• the windows that welcomes to the wizard has three empty bullets under "these are the current project settings". Both the cancel and the finish button do not work.

The folder for the application is created but no files inside.

please help!!

Answer 1

I solved my problem forcing a "clean" install of VS2012. ('clean' means that also the shared packages were uninstalled). Presuming that the installer I used to install VS2012 was on d:

D:vs_premium.exe /uninstall /force

Once reinstalled, the problem was gone.
