I have reloaded my laptop this weekend and installed VS 2005 Team Developer
edition... Everything went okay and I could create Windows and Website
projects...

Somewhere down the line with installing SQL 2005 Developer Edition including
Business Intelligence, Tools for Office, Access 2003 Extensions; VS2005 has
now lost the ability to Create/Open Website projects... it's really strange I
can Create/Open normal Windows projects but the menu option for websites in
VS2005 has completely disappeared.

I will try and use the repair function tonight and get it to reinstall to
see if this fixes the problem but if not I may have to try and uninstall,
reinstall it.... :-(

If anybody else has any suggestions as to how to fix this let me know...

Cheers,

Geoff.

I cannot be sure, but this procedure may help you...

Choose Tools->Import and Export Settings...
Select Reset All Settings, then click Next
Select whether you wish to save the current settings, then click Next
(You'll now see a list of settings options - roles if you will)
Choose General Development or one of the languages, then click Finish.

You should now see New-> in your File Menu, and then a choice list which
includes Project and web site...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work... I have
uninstalled VS2005 and reinstalled which fixed the problem...

I am not sure but I think that by installing Visual Studio Tools for Office
2005 actually breaks it. In fact i'm not sure that you would install this
with VS2005 because that has the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime built
in.... maybe the Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 is actually for users
who do not have VS20005, I need to read up more on this.

Geoff.

Thank you for sharing this information. Since VSTO2005 provides a seperate vs2005 IDE, it may override your wesite project template folder if you did not choose the
installation path. So if you have had vs2005 installed in you machine, you need to specify your installation path when installing vsto2005.
