ASP.NET MVC Framework Project Type is Missing.

July 09, 2009

I went looking to create an ASP.NET MVC Framework project and found that the project type template was missing.  I googled/binged around for a while and couldn’t come up with an answer.

Looking at this site I thought that it was saying that all you had to do to get the project types was to install the Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.  Well, that where I was wrong.  You’ve got to download a separate file to make the project types show up.  Here’s what you need to download and install to fix the “missing” ASP.NET MVC project type problem.

Thanks to Julie Lerman for providing the answer.
