Can't find "windows forms app" entry in new project with Visual Studio 2017 after fresh install

Question

_{Tuesday, October 30, 2018 7:19 AM}

I just installed Visual Studio 2017.

Following a youtube tutorial, I was told to open a new project and chose the "windows forms app (.net framework)" under Visual Basic - but this entry is not there.

Did I miss installing anything else?

Please help or guide me to another tutorial for creating apps.

Hi YigalB.

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Please open VS installer, you can click file -> new project -> choose “open visual studio installer”. Then check the workload named “.Net desktop development” is checked. Then press “modify”. Please have a look with the below screenshot:

If have anything happening, please free feel to let me know.

Looking forwards your reply.

Best Regards
