How to create New EPT by using CSOM

I try to create a new EPT (project server 2013) using C# CSOM library. But It has following error occurred.

"PJClientCallableException: EnterpriseProjectTypeInvalidCreatePDPUid"

Couple of article tell to change the "IsCreate=true". But it does not success for me. Here is the code what I have done.

public void CreateEnterpriseProjectType(Guid eptGuid, string eptName, string eptDescription)
    {
        ProjectContext pwaContext = new ProjectContext(this.PWA_URL);

        EnterpriseProjectTypeCreationInformation eptData = new EnterpriseProjectTypeCreationInformation();

        eptData.Id = eptGuid;
        eptData.Name = eptName;
        eptData.Description = eptDescription;
        eptData.IsDefault = false;
        eptData.IsManaged = true;
        eptData.WorkspaceTemplateName = "PROJECTSITE#0";
        eptData.ProjectPlanTemplateId = Guid.Empty;
        eptData.WorkflowAssociationId = Guid.Empty;
        eptData.Order = 4;

        List<ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation> projectDetailPages = new
        List<ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation>() { 
            new ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation() { 
                Id = pwaContext.ProjectDetailPages[1].Id, IsCreate = true } 
        };
        eptData.ProjectDetailPages = projectDetailPages;

        pwaContext.Load(pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes);
        pwaContext.ExecuteQuery();
        EnterpriseProjectType newEpt = pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes.Add(eptData);
        pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes.Update();
        pwaContext.ExecuteQuery();
    }

Can anyone explain the issue or provide the working code part.

I would like to suggest the following:

Define an enterprise project type:

string basicEpt = "Enterprise Project"; // Basic enterprise project type.
int timeoutSeconds = 10;  // The maximum wait time for a queue job, in seconds.

And then, when you create the new project, work like this:

ProjectCreationInformation newProj = new ProjectCreationInformation();

            newProj.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
            newProj.Name = "Project Name";
            newProj.Description = "Test creating a project with CSOM";
            newProj.Start = DateTime.Today.Date;


            // Setting the EPT GUID is optional. If no EPT is specified, Project Server  
            // uses the default EPT. 
            newProj.EnterpriseProjectTypeId = GetEptUid(basicEpt);

            PublishedProject newPublishedProj = projContext.Projects.Add(newProj);
            QueueJob qJob = projContext.Projects.Update();

            // Calling Load and ExecuteQuery for the queue job is optional.
            // projContext.Load(qJob);
            // projContext.ExecuteQuery();
            JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJob, timeoutSeconds);

When the last line of that piece of code ends, the project must be created and published in order to define tasks or whatever.

I don't know what is happening to your code, seems great.

Hope it helps to you,
