Only option under "File" is "New Team Project"

Question

Hello,

When I try to create a new project under "File"  the only option I get is:
- New Team Project
- Connect to Team Project

- New File
- Open File

Any idea why I don't see the normal new project options?

I have installed, removed and reinstalled VS 2010 Premium 3 times in an attempt to fix this problem I cannot seem to get it to work correctly.  I'm stumped.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your post.

Based on your description, it looks like that you have installed Team Explorer 2010 instead of Visual Studio 2010.

Team Explorer 2010 is a simplified Visual Studio Team System 2010 environment used solely to access Team Foundation Server services. It applies the similar shell as Visual Studio. However, we cannot create new projects via Team Explorer.
Thus, you can find only two options related to Team project when you go to File menu.

You can check Help Menu >> About Microsoft Visual Studio >> Installed products. You might find the following component:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer

Hope this helps! If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Yichun Chen

Answer 3

I had the same problem, it defaults to Team Explorer view.

To change it go Tools > Import/Export settings > Import. Follow the on screen prompts.

Answer 4

Hi,

I have the same problem. I downloaded the VS2010 Professional and all I get is the New Team Project.  I just want "New Project" I do not mind theteam option, but I dont want all my little games to be on the server. Best is both. But not just the Team.

What do I need to change in my confogiration or installation to have the dual option or just the NewProject?

 

Thanks,

Mickey
