I have checked template path in VS settings – it points into my custom directory, so I copied Wisej templates from path you specified. Now I can create a project from Wisej template without problem.

Problem with designer still exists – see latest attachment with nearly created Wisej desktop application

The tool box is empty. If I right click into tool box and choose reset toolbox – nothing happens.

I can’t open design view as you can see in attached image

Also there is not any Wisej project templates available in the new project dialog

    I have to try with the 2017 community, maybe it uses different paths. Check C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# That’s where VS searches for the templates.

Open in design mode command is not shown in context menu in VS 2017

  • Luca (ITG)
    Right click anywhere on the toolbox. It’s there, it’s not a Wisej menu.

Thanks. Looks like it was installed correctly if the files are present in C:\\Program Files\\IceTeaGroup\\Wisej\\bin\\

Try to open a Wisej window in design mode, right click on the Toolbox and select “Reset toolbox”.

I’ve attached a 2 registry export files for 2 Visual Studio registry folders:

  • 15.0_31c7bce9.reg – for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_31c7bce9
  • 15.0 – for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0

Please check the registry key

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_{some value}

Let me know the entries in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\

Since 2017 Microsoft changes the key in the registry to a random value set at installation basically breaking all the installers that needed to install something into the toolbox. Their solution is to only using VSIX installations, but VSIX is way too limited for product installations. So now for 2017 we have to use a combination of vswhere (from microsoft: https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere) and a powershell command to determine the key name.
