Cloud service project template not getting listed

I have installed Windows Azure SDK on my machine on top of VS 2010 SP1. "Windows Azure project" template is listed (file->new project) but "Cloud Service Project" template is not getting listed. Do I have to install anything else? Thanks.

If you're on VS 2012, switch the .NET Framework version at the top to 4.0. I was totally flummoxed by this silly issue and even filed a connect bug!

The UI needs updating to discard the Framework version filter and have the supported frameworks listed in a column. Choosing the Framework to target should be moved down to the bottom where other pre-create config options are set.

I believe "Windows Azure project" is correct, and "Cloud Service Project" is just old terminology. I don't have a project template called that either.

Did you also install the Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio? I usually choose the tooling option as it also includes the SDK. Pro tip: use the Web Platform Installer and it will also setup any other dependencies you need.

Click the 'Get Started' link from here to use WebPI installer:
