Missing MVC template in Visual Studio 2015

Visual studio 2015 does not show MVC project template if you select .Net 4.0 or below. Select .Net 4.5 or above, and you will be able to see MVC project.

This is what showed when you select .NET Framework 4:

and this when you select .NET Framework 4.5:

However, make sure you have installed web developers tools. To do so, go to Add / remove programs -> Visual 2015 -> Modify --> Web developer tools : Check and proceed with the installation.


Just got the same issue after installing Developer Tools Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2015 (Beta7). I tried to reinstall ASP.NET Project Templates but it didn't help.

While looking into "Add / remove programs" -> "Visual 2015" -> "Modify" , I found the "Web developer tools" unchecked. This SO answer helps me to figure this.

After reinstalling this, everything reappears

Just click on the "web" in left side-bar and select "ASP.NET Web Application", click "ok" and you will see next dialog:

Now, you can choose type of web application what you want.


I'm going to add my 2 cents in case someone finds himself in a position like mine. I too was looking for an MVC project type and could not see it. All I saw is a "Web Application Project". So I freaked out and rushed into trying all solutions listed on this page.

But.

IT IS ACTUALLY THERE.

Just go with the "Web application" project and it will give you the MVC option on the next step.
