Regular Project Type Templates

I had a working installation of VSTS with TFS beta 3 refresh. In between, I did not work for 3 months and everything broke. After that, I could get TFS for workgroup going. Before TFS for work group, TFS client was already installed.

But after installing TFS for WG, when I try to create a new project, I do not see all the regular project type templates. All I see is "Business Intelligence Projects" and "Other Project Types" under which I see "Blank Solution" and "Search Online Templates". What do I have to fix to see all the regular project types including "Distributed Systems Solutions".

    You need to install one of the Team System sku's or (if you have it), Team Suite on your machine. This will give you access to the appropriate projects and functionality you are looking for. You will need Team Architect to access the distributed designer solution projects.
    In simple terms, TFS is the server side install of VSTS. Team Suite is your client side.

    Thanks Joe. I reinstalled Team Suite in that server again and now I can see all the project type templates.
