Unable to see biztalk project template in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

Question

I have installed BizTalk 2013 R2 on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate is also installed on the same machine.

I cannot see BizTalk Project template while creating a new project in Visual Studio. When I ran the BizTalk setup again, Developer Tools box was not selected. When I select the box it gives following message

Features you selected requires the following components to be installed: 
WCF HTTP ACTIVATION 4.5, IIS ASP NET 4.5

When I check in the Server Manager, both of the above are already installed.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Have you registered ASP.NET 4.5 on the machine?

Try running this command:

aspnet_regiis -i

You can read more about the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

The easiest way to do this would be to run the Visual Studio Command Prompt.
Also make sure to run as an administrator.

Answer 2

To restore the default project templates In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in \Common7\IDE. Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter. NoteNote: If you are using an Express Edition of Visual Studio, type "Express /installvstemplates" where is either VB, VJS, or VCS for Visual Basic, Visual J#, and Visual C#, respectively. If this procedure does not restore the default templates, reinstall Visual Studio.
