How to update Visual Studio Template Cache

Question

I\'ve updated a default template in Visual Studio 2008 with the following path:

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Common7\\IDE\\ItemTem

Answer 1

I had the same issue. What was here did not work for me. What I did however is to go to a specific folder and edit the files directly. Just go there :

%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{some_version}\ItemTemplatesCache\

It contains folders named after the zip files from your archives in the template folder. I needed admin priviledge for edits.

Enjoy.
