installing "Cocos2dx-win8-vs2012-Template" failed.

[gasilu]

Environment:
Win8 Release Preview
VS2012 RC Professional (build_no: 11.0.50522.1 RCREL)

the installer say:
安装已停止，原因是 ProjectType 值的目录不存在。对于您所安装的 Visual Studio，该项目类型无效。

btw: I think u can read Chinese. it looks likely vs2012 met invalid ProjectType.
I saw u just updated that file a few days ago. Hope reslv soon. dev branch.

The lastest vs template on dev brunch is for newer than vs2012RC.
You should use the master branch one for your environment.

hi, gasliu
Try make a dir named "Windows Metro style" into a dir like this:
C:\Users\gasilu\Documents\Visual Studio 11\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C++ Project

Hi, How do I install the VSI file?

C:\Users\Kinshuk\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C++ Project exists for me.
I also created a directory "Cocos2dx Metro Apps" inside this path. Also copied the VSI file inside the path. To no use, of course.

According to MSDN, Templates are installed as VSIX files with the Extensions and Updates tool for VS2012.

What should I do now?

[lihex]

vsi is not supported on vs2012 express.
Plz use vs2012 professional or ultimate version

@lihex Hi, I just met the same problem, "installing failed.....", So i tried to create a new folder named "Windows Metro style" into a dir like that, but didn't work. At last I solve it because VS2012 create the folder named Visual C++ 项目, not Visual C++ Project. I change the folder name and it works... I don't know but it works..:smiling_imp:
