Visual Studio 2017 c++ win32 console project template

Question

I am on Visual Studio Community 2017 v. 15.3.1 and I can't seem to find Win32 console application or Win32 project. Still have empty c++ project template and Windows Console Application template. On the start page, I still have win 32 console project available, but if I click it, I get a prompt about removing it from the list

EDIT: I have currently installed following Workloads:

• Universal Windows Platform
• Net desktop development
• Desktop development with C++
• Game Development with C++
• Visual Studio extensions development I've done no changes to workload configuration, save from adding a few extra components.

I've been fiddling with installer for a while but can't figure out which package I need for this. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The new updated changed some things. Go to file -> new project -> visual c++ -> windows desktop -> windows desktop wizard -> select whatever you want

If you haven't installed C++ at all (doesn't come by default as mentioned above) look here

Answer 2

This seems to work. Credit all goes to the original website! :)

If you are using Visual Studio 2017, and can't find "win32 console project" after File ->> New ->> Project:

Go to File ->> New ->> Project ->> Windows Desktop Wizard ->> select "Empty Project"
