Unable to create project (solution is empty)

VS 2017 (15.7.4)
Arduino IDE for VS 1807.7.7

I'm unable to create a new project or open any *.ino project. When I try to create a new project it opens an empty solution.

Hi,

Dud you install the c++ option when installing visual studio?

Can you try the standard VS create c++ project option "File>New>Project>C++>Empty Project"

You can use control panel>add or remove programs>visual studio 2017>change to change the options.

No, C++ option wasn't installed.
I've just added it and now everything works fine.

Is it a new requirement? I've used VS without c++ feature with a previous version (don't know the exact number) of the extension.

I've been using VS2017 + Visual Micro for several months, however, now I'm not sure that I tried to create a new project during this period of time.

In any case, thank you for your help!

Thanks for the clarity it was useful. 

Visual Micro has always needed C++ but not a specific version. We had to set a specific version in recent updates because of a Microsoft bug in the latest Vs2017 preview. Thankfully it is a bug and not a design change. Microsoft have since reported the bug will be fixed for the next release.

So for any other readers, there is an updated Visual Micro in the gallery 1807.8 which reverts to the previous "use any" c++ platform setting for new projects.

Thanks for the report.
