Cannot find C++ project templates after installing Visual Studio 2015

Question

After installing Visual Studio 2015, when I go to File -> New Project, I cannot find any project templates related to Visual C++. How can I get them?

Answer 1

You can add the missing templates by:

1. Go to File(in visual studio).
2. Select New project.
3. Under Templates Select Open Visual Studio Installer.
4. Now you can add any component.

Works on Visual Studio 2017. Don't know about others.
