HI,

Please repair your Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate first,

To repair Visual Studio

1. In Control Panel, on the Programs and Features page, choose the product edition that you want to repair, and then choose Uninstall/Change.

2. In the Setup wizard, choose Repair, choose Next, and then follow the remaining instructions.

If it still has same issue, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Best regards

Angie

An important thing to remember is that ASP.NET in Visual Studio 2013 has migrated to "One ASP.NET" which consists of a single Web Application environment that supports all of the major development technologies (Web Forms, MVC, Web API, etc.).

You'll just need to follow these steps to set up an MVC5 application in Visual Basic : 

• Create a New Project.
• Choose the ASP.NET Web Application (ensure that the Web tab is selected under Visual Basic templates within Visual Studio)
• In the dialog that appears, select the MVC template.
• Click Ok to create your MVC application.

You should see something like this in the image below : 

As far as an explicit MVC5 template, I'm not sure a template is currently available in Visual Studio 2013 (since it uses the One ASP.NET approach) however you may want to consider downloading the ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 Update for Visual Studio 2012 which adds the MVC5 Templates in Visual Studio 2012 and would allow you to explicitly use an MVC5 Template within Visual Studio 2012 :
