VS 2013 templates

All the msdn documents say I should have the following template options (see image below) when trying to create a new asp.net application but for some reason the only options I have are Empty, Web Forms, and Azure Mobile Service.

Does anyone know how I might go about restoring the missing options here as I need to create a new MVC application?

Project Templates

EDIT: Further clarification:

When following the steps carried out here ... http://www.asp.net/visual-studio/overview/2013/creating-web-projects-in-visual-studio

... when I get to the above dialog I do not have any mention at all of both web API and MVC.

Finally cracked it ...

For some reason the web developer tools were not installed as part of my installation (likely due to the repair that happened last week).

So if anyone else gets this the fix is as follows:

Go to control panel > programs and features Find "Visual Studio Ultimate 2013" entry. Right click > change. Click on "modify" Tick the box labelled "Microsoft Web Developer Tools" and click to continue.

After running through the setup process everything should now be in place ! Wierd ... these options were in their correct place but apparently not after the repair !

Please ..Select WebForms-> Press Below Check for MVC (This optional u can leave it for now )-> Then you wil have an option for

  • MVC Application
  • WEB API application
  • ASP.NET WEB Application and so on!!

If no

reinstall or run some update for VS2013 ... its corrupted installation i guess or

clear APP-DATA ,TEMP AND MYDOCUEMNTS for VS related stuff...if u have massed it while working other settings...

Cheers!
