Answer 1

Hi Krishna,

Were you able to successfully get a developer license on that machine?

How did you install the Consumer Preview? Did you upgrade or do a clean install?

Answer 2

it was a clean install.....i can see that zip files of templates are present in the following folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\Windows Metro style".... but they donot show up in the project creation wizard..thnx for the help

Answer 3

To clarify, you said you installed "vs 11 developer preview" - did you mean "vs 11 Beta"?  If you are using the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you need to install Visual Studio 11 Beta, not Developer Preview.

If you have the Beta installed, try running:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv /installvstemplates

When that is complete, do the templates show up in the New Project Dialog?
