Why I can't see New project Web Template for Visual Studio 2015 preview?

Question

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 preview successfully. Unfortunately, I am not getting New project Templates to create Web Apps (asp.net). I am looking under C# -> Web.

Please note that I tried this locally and on an Azure machine which is having Visual Studio 2015.

I found the solution of the issue, stated above. I am sharing here, so that others can get benefited, who might be wondering for the solution of similar issues.

I resolved it after re-installing/Update the setup. Here are the step(s):

-Restart the setup for VS2015 Preview -Selected the required components to install

After these steps, I received the desired templates.

P.S. Whenever anyone is installing VS2015 Preview first time, should Select the features under 'Optional features to install' to get the desired installation.

Answer 2

I had this issue with the Web templates not showing up in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. I uninstalled and reinstalled "Microsoft Web Developer Tools" from the update menu, tried repair, installed various related templates, and it wouldn't come back.

I know it's normally in the Visual Studio 2015 installer, but for me I finally got it back by clicking and installing whatever the ASP.Net 4.6 "Install For Windows" link does at https://get.asp.net/. No idea why, hope it helps someone.

I was also facing the same issue. I first installed the VS2015 community edition and then uninstalled it and installed the VS2015 Professional edition. Professional edition didn't had any Web Templates.

Issue was resolved by installing DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.

I faced some issue while installing the DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2, which was resolved by following the steps mentioned here.
