Error writing the project file. Unspecified error

When I try to create new c# project, I get this error:

Error writing the project file. Unspecified error.

I am using now VS2015 and I tried to use VS2013 but I get the same error.

Here is a quote from MDSN blog regarding " What can be done if Visual Studio IDE encounters unexpected problems?"

When unexpected problems occurs, the key point is trying to isolate potential causes. So it’s good to make the situation as simple as possible.

There are a few things we can try if Visual Studio IDE is not working as expected: a) Try to run devenv /ResetSettings (in command prompt) to eliminate the related potential settings problem.

b) Try disabling Add-ins (e.g. “Tools” | “Add-in Manager”) or run “devenv.exe /SafeMode”.This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems. (For more detailed VS command line switches information

c) Try creating a new project. Sometimes corrupted project settings can cause problems. These are project specific.

d) Make sure that we have the latest service pack applied.

e) Try to reboot the operating system to safe mode. This can help to isolate whether any other applications are interfering with Visual Studio. Note that some features (like IIS) are not available under safe mode. Please check whether this can be applied or not.

f) Try to create a new user account. This can help isolate user profile corruption related causes.

I hope it will help you sort your issue.
