Installed Visual Studio 2013, it was missing the Biztalk Projects in the Installed templates, when I browsed found devenv /installvstemplates will help. I used this command in

enter image description here

Now all the other templates also went missing. I have only the Visual C++ enter image description here

What could be the reason? How can I restore the templates and the Biztalk templates too?

Did you run the BizTalk 2013 R2 installer and install the developer SDK? – Dijkgraaf
The Biztalk 2013 R2 was installed before the visual studio 2013 installation. Can I do anything now? – xyz
Yes, just re-run the installer and select the SDK option. However you might want to do a re-pair/re-install of Visual Studio to fix the other missing templates first. Usually to avoid this issue you should install Visual Studio first and then BizTalk. – Dijkgraaf

While I think a repair works fine, a quicker solution that has always worked for me was to do the following:

  1. Open a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (from under Tools inside the VS folder)
  2. Run devenv.exe /setup templates
  3. Close and re-open Visual Studios.

If you had previously installed the Development Tools, do a Repair on BizTalk Server.

If you had not previously installed the Development Tools, do a Modify and add them.

You can do either one from Add/Remove Programs or the BizTalk install media.

Note If you have Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 installed, you might find a few artifacts missing while creating a new BizTalk Server project in Visual Studio. To fix this issue, you must install Visual Studio 2013 Update 3.
