    Visual Studio - lost ability to create projects other than C#

    I recently installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional. On the initial install it gave me a list of options, something to do with optimizing Visual Studio. It gave you the option to optimize it for C#, J#, basically whatever you primarily worked with. I selected C#. It did give you an option to utilise all of the projects, but I silly neglected that.

    Now, when I go to create a new project I'm only able to create C# projects. The problem is that I cannot access the setup projects, which is what I got the professional edition for.

    Is there a way to access all the available projects?

    I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled, but when I install again, it no longer gives me the option to optimize for the language I use, but uses C# like I gave the first time.

    Hmm, well I've got it going now.

    I did a full uninstall again, but this time I uninstalled all the other components that Visual Studio installs. That seems to get rid of any configuration, I guess.

      Did you check under "Other Project Types"?

      Usually, it asks you when you first use it which language you want to use, and then it customizes your interface for that language, but all the other options are still there, just under "Other Languages" or "Other Project Types"

      Also, if you go to Tools->Import and Export Settings...
      You can reset your environment to one of the defaults, and you can back up your current settings.
