Visual Studio 2010 Isolated Template

I am creating a tutorial to create a Visual Studio isolated shell application. When I go to step number 4, I will open a dialog with the following text:

There was a problem creating the subproject "VSShellStub1". The specified pattern was not found. Check the correct path.

I tried this on two separate machines with the same results. Both machines have a Visual Studio 2010 SDK and an installed standalone distribution. Has anyone seen / solved this problem?

This will happen if you did not install Visual C ++ as a function during the installation of Visual Studio 2010. Visual C ++ is required to create isolated shell applications, since the exe stub and dll UI stub must be native binaries .

You can add Visual C ++ by following these instructions (in the "Installing Additional Components" section) .
