Unable to see new features after installing ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2

Question

User1493028666 posted

After installing ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2  I am unable to see any new features (e.g. new MVC4 templates).

Initially, I installed via Web Platform Installer and after it didn't work, I uninstalled everything.
I then tried installing 2 MSI individual packages mentioned in Release Notes > Installation Notes. After successfull installation I am still unable to see any new features.

My platform is :

Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012
Version 11.0.60115.01 Update 2 CTP
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi zambak

Software Requirements:

The ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 requires Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web.

ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 for Visual Studio 2012 can be installed using Web Platform installer.

You can also install ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 manually. Then use the following instructions:

1.Download ASP.NET and Web Frameworks 2012.2 installer from Download Center.

2.When prompted click Run. You can also save the file to run it later.

3.Verify the version of Visual Studio you will update. You can do this by launching the Visual Studio you wish to update. Then click the Help menu item.

4.If you see the menu item "About Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 for Web" then download Web Developer Tools 2012.2 - Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. Otherwise download Web Developer Tools 2012.2 - Visual Studio 2012.

5.When prompted click Run. You can also save the file to run it later.

You could also follow the ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 Release notes document to learn detailed information, I think it will give some tips for you.

hope it helps you,

With regards

There is a similar issue about installing Web Tools 2012.2 here, OP enables "Visual Studio Web Development Feature" in Visual Studio 2012,

and install the stand alone installers, then it is ok. Please check whether it is helpful for you.
