Visual Studio 2013 JS HTML Template

Question

before i reinstalled visual studio i had an option to choose a blank html/js only template. There is still an option for a blank JS project but it's different and it seems like it's supposed for windows 8 store apps.

I found a picture from a typescript template. I had the same option for javascript:

_{(source: msdn.com )}

Now it's gone and I'd like to have it back. Maybe someone can help me out?

Thanks in advance

You have to restore the default project templates so as to fix your problem.

In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in <Visual Studio Installation Path>\\Common7\\IDE.

Note: If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must open the command prompt as an administrator

Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter.

Note: If you are using an Express Edition of Visual Studio, type "<ExpressName>Express /installvstemplates" where <ExpressName> is either VB or VCS for Visual Basic and Visual C#, respectively.

By default, templates installed together with the product are located in:

\VisualStudioInstallationDirectory\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Language\Locale\
\VisualStudioInstallationDirectory\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Language\Locale\

For example, the following directory contains the Visual Studio project templates for English:

C:\VisualStudioInstallationDirectory\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic\1033\

Try to empty them first and then reinstall .If this procedure does not restore the default templates, reinstall Visual Studio.
