Visual Studio 2012 Hot towel template not working correctly

I am following this tutorial for getting started with Hot towel, I have installed the ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2 update and have also downloaded and installed the VSIX for the Hot towel template, but when I try create a new project with this template it is not working correctly. If I open a new project in Visual Studio 2012 and select ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application I see the HotTowel Single Page Application template listed there, but I select the project gets created with a lot of files missing.

What I would expect to see in my Scripts folder is the following:

enter image description here

But instead my project looks like this:

enter image description here

The project created also does not compile, it throws the following exception:

Error 1 The name 'BundleConfig' does not exist in the current context

This exception is being thrown here:

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
    }
}

Does anyone know why the Hot towel template is not working correctly in Visual Studio 2012 and what I could do to get it working?

UPDATE:

I tried installing Hot Towel with Nuget instead of the template, but that also did not work correctly. Install-Package got as far as installing Q and then gave an exception. Here is the Nuget output:

PM> Install-Package HotTowel

I solved this problem by updating NuGet Package Manager. I updated it from here:
