Install Fails Method A Test

This is a brand new Visual Studio 2010 Professional on a windows 7 machine.  I followed the First Time User Guide and every thing seemed to install correctly.  Tools>Option> ... Arduino Application set up correctly.  I didn't need to Register .pde and .ino.  All is good.

But - File>New does not have Arduino project.

No Joy...

Yes - I did manage to get it going.  This is the last few steps that finally got it running for me.

9.  Start over by installing new Arduino.Helper
10. Run ArduinoForVisualStudio.msi from download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com
11. Choose 'Remove Visual Micro for Arduino...
12. Restart the computer - just to be sure.
13. Open Visual Studio just to make sure that its still right - it is.
14.  Run (again) ArduinoForVisualStudio.msi from download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com
15. Install with all the defaults.  Seemes to install correctly except NO Arduino in File > New>Project
16. To be sure I restarted VS and opened Fille>New and I could see the Arduino icon.... Good. 

I think I went wrong by opening File>New>Project and expecting to see Arduino in the list of  Templates.  Simply File>New got it right.
Thanks....... Jim

I'm pleased you got it working. Here are a few notes for other users that experience a problem.

The addin doesn't install any components that requires windows to restart. The addin is simply a few dlls and a registry setting so that vs knows to load it.

Sometimes the devenv.exe (Visual Studio) process remains in memory after you shutdown vs. If the addin has just been installed but vs has not shutdown properly then this can cause the addin to fail to load correctly.

The visual studio devenv.exe process can be terminated using windows task manager as described in the resetaddin guide. After that has been done running the resetaddin should fix everything.
