You need to install it by launching the installer     Click the  Workload  tab  in the upper-left  then check top right   NET-Desktop Development  and hit install  Note it may modify your installation size  bottom-right   and you can install other Workloads  but you must install   NET-Desktop Development  at least      as seen in comments below  users were not able to achieve the equivalent using the  Individual Components  tab

My personal experience was that I had installed the Team Foundation Server client for 2017 first  was using it as a Proof of Concept for our QA team  while I was still using VS2015   then followed it up with Installing Visual Studio 2017 later to begin development   What I ended up with on my Start Menu was a Visual Studio 2017 and a Visual Studio 2017  2   The Visual Studio 2017  2  had all the templates I was missing  Following the steps found in the First answer to this question  which were clear and easy to follow  did not fix my issue   I had thought that launching the client would upgrade to the Development Client  but it did not  I renamed it to Visual Studio Professional  and now have everything I need  Not sure if this happens to anyone else  but it was what happened to me  so I hope this helps someone

If you have installed  NET desktop development and still you can t see the templates  then VS is probably  getting the templates from your custom templates folder and not installed   To fix that  copy the installed templates folder to custom   This is your  installed  folder     C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio   14 0 Common7 IDE ProjectTemplates   This is your  custom  folder     C  Users your username  Documents Visual   Studio 2017 Templates ProjectTemplates   Typically this happens when you are at the office and you are running VS as an administrator and visual studio is confused how to merge both of them and if you notice they don t have the same folder structure and folder names   One is CSHARP and the other C       I didn t have the same problem when I installed VS 2017 community edition at home though  This happened when I installed visual studio 2017  enterprise  edition

My C   templates were there all along  it was my C  ones that were missing   Similar to CSharpie  after trying many modify re-installs  oddly the following finally worked for me    - run the installer  but un-select  Desktop development with C      - allow installer to complete  - run the installer again  and select  Desktop development with C      - allow installer to complete

NOTE  this topic is about installation issues with MS project templates   I came here via a search in Google  I was looking for a missing Template option in Visual Studio 2017 File menu  in VS-2015  it was Export to Template and I used it to add my own standard Project Items    Meanwhile  I found an answer   my issue was not related to default templates and it does not need install things  The option Export to Template has been moved to the VS-2017 Project menu
