	Using the menubar item to create a new Arduino project in VS2017 Professional with vMicro pro creates a new project, but does not create an empty <name>.ino file yet it gets added to the solution.

	You should not have spaces in an Arduino project name. For Visual Micro to work the project name, the containing folder and a .ino file must all have the same name. Visual Studio must have C++ installed Finally please say what you clicked to create the project. Did you use "file>new>project>c++>arduino" or file>new>arduino project

There is an underscore. I clicked on the toolbar item "vMicro" then "New Arduino Project. The pupup requests a new project name, and that's it.

	That's very strange. When I look at your screen shot it shows a project and solution without an underscore, with spaces. 1) If you close the solution and create a project called Test1. Does that create correctly and does it compile? 2) If you close the solution and create a project using file>new>project>visual c++>arduino project. Does that create and build correctly? 3) What is the name of the physical folder your thread test project has been created in? Thanks

	You are right. The project has a space in the name. Apologies.

	Okay but I just created a project with a space in the name and it created correctly using the menu item you used. Whilst the arduino ide and some tool chains don't like spaces visual micro handles them because visual studio allows them in the standard file>new wizard. So I am still confused how the problem happened? Can you replicate the issue?
