I have a server with something called Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) - ENU which only provides templates for SSIS work. I did not remove that before installing the VS 2008 Standard Edition (at the end of this there was no demand for a reboot). I then installed the Service Pack 1 for this VStudio product (again, no order for a reboot).
To my surprise, Visual Studio 2008 still exposes the limited set of templates for SSIS stuff. I rebooted and the IDE still acts the same with just this little set of choices related to SSIS projects.
Yet, when I visit Help -> About, I get a more complete looking set of components. In fact, the ProjectTemplates subfolder appears to have everything I selected during install (C#, VB, and Web).
Is there some way to gain access to things like "web application project" templates or do I need to remove everything and start over?
-- EDIT update 6/24/2010 -- What a sad Setup package for a major product like Visual Studio 2008!
Here is what I discovered:
* VS2008 "shell" was the source of the whole problem described above
* I removed this "shell" (whatever that means) and that action alone did not fix the problem
* I removed t开发者_Python百科he entire VS2008 Std Edition product
* I reinstalled the entire VS2008 Std Edition product
* Now all templates are present as they should be.
What a sorry installation package that could not somehow grapple with the situation that this "shell" thing was installed beforehand!!!

The leftovers are beause you have SQL Server 2008 developer tools installed and they use the same DevEnv IDE.
If you want your Web / Windows / etc development tools available, you are going to have to install them.
