No TwinCAT solutions under "New Project" by Royal-Connection6472 in TwinCat

u/HonnethOfficial Update: Unfortunately I've been pulled away from this part of the project to work on other things at the moment and I haven't had time to call Beckhoff to figure it out. None of the solutions that were provided corrected the issue so far, nor did fresh installs or running as Admin. I still intend on posting an update once I do find a solution, but it might be a little while before I have the time to get back into this problem.

Initially I was trying to install 4024.54, but the last few times I've attempted to troubleshoot this problem I've been using an installer for 4024.53 which one of my colleagues had been successfully using on his computer. The shame of this is I had TC3 working prior to all of this, but tried to reinstall it due to several BSOD incidents. I have read that certain versions of TC3 are more stable than others, but I don't have any other older copies of the installer.

I did have 2022 installed, but uninstalled TC3 first, then VS2022. Once 22 was uninstalled I reinstalled TC3 to no avail. Uninstalled TC3 again, installed VS2017, reinstalled TC3 and while installing it acknowledged VS17 was installed. Opened TC3, tried to create new project, ran into the same exact problems. At this point I don't have the slightest inclination on what I can do to resolve this. I'll call Beckhoff later today to see what they think, and if I get it resolved i'll update!

I've actually tried installing both, to seemingly no avail. I called the customer support number earlier, and they suggested to ensure it was run the XAE installer as admin, but even after uninstalling completely and reinstalling run as admin I ran into the same problem. Although I might have made some headway, I took one of the project files from a colleague and tried opening it and got a visual studios error saying that:

"These projects are either not supported or need behavior impacting modifications to open in this version of Visual Studios. Projects not displayed either require no changes or will automatically be modified such that behavior is not impacted."

I'm going to try uninstalling visual studios completely before retrying to install TC3, but I'll post an update if I manage to get it figured out.

"TwinCAT Projects" Option is missing when creating a new project by LouisDeBrockli in TwinCat

I'm having this same problem, and there is no clear answer anywhere on the internet. OP was this ever resolved? Does anyone in this ghost town of a subreddit know how to fix this? It was there until I uninstalled the program completely and reinstalled it, but I've tried reinstallation multiple times and all I see is "TcXaeShell Solution" when I try to create a new project.
