Hi Vasile,

I am trying to develop my 1st plug-in but I can't even create an SDL project in Visual Studio. (I created a thread here but no one has responded yet: )

I also tried using your VSIX extension. I have Visual Studio Community 2017 and Windows 7 SP1.  Unfortunately, "New | Project" with one of the SDL templates just dies silently or produces this error in "ActivityLog.xml":  

System.ArgumentException: Argument can't be null Parameter name: node at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateProviders.InstalledTemplatesProvider.GetPathFromNode(IVsExtensionsTreeNode node) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dialogs.NewProjectDialog.CloseDialog(Boolean dialogResult)

Any ideas?

Visual Studio seems to be aware that the SDL templates exist, but doesn't know how to use them. I am attaching a couple of screenshots in case it helps.

Thanks,

Gary Hess

Hey Gary,

Seems like the error was related to the extension path you had, the template was not found on you local machine.
I wanted to suggest you a repair for Visual Studio, but seems you did solve it.

Have fun playing with the SDK,
Vasile
