Templatizing project in Visual Studio

I created an application for Windows mobile applications in Visual Studio. I want to templatize this project so that you can open it as a template as opposed to a project.

Is this possible in Visual Studio? I read that there is something called "VSX (Visual Studio Extension)" that can do this. I have Visual Studio Ultimate installed on my system and tried to install the VS2010 SDK. But they do not install it, saying that I do not have MS Visual Studio 2010, which I apparently do.

Am I going in the right direction? If there wasn’t the right way?

This is what I was looking for, and it is also very convenient.

Template Export Wizard

This exports the project directly as a VSIX extension using the wizard.

I would recommend using the TemplateBuilder NuGet package inside a VSIX project or Visual Studio package. I created a 6-minute video showing how you can: Create a VSIX containing the project template, and then edit the template. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z33jOo75CH4 .

FYI TemplateBuilder is open source at https://github.com/ligershark/template-builder . If you've heard of SideWaffle , it relies on TemplateBuilder.
