Can no longer generate task panes

Question

So I made a project to test out developing an app for Word.  I was able to get it to register the task pane, and could access it.  

Now, however, if I create a new project and hit debug, Word opens but with no task pane.  If I load my old project, the task pane appears.  But no new project will work.  Is there a way to figure out what is happening?

EDIT: I dont know how to fix this, but I noticed in my working project there was a file, MyApp.app and a folder MyAppManifests that were generated last week.  None of my new projects have these files.  Is there a reason the manifest is not being created?

Answer 1

SOLVED - Visual studio must be run as administrator.  Then, right click on the project containing the XML and hit debug.  This will generate the correct files.
