Question

I do not understand why I cannot find the C ++ / CLI project type in Visual Studio 2017 . I just updated my Visual Studio and now I cannot create Windows Forms applications.

Answer 1

The answer is allowed on this visual studio community forum .

I copied the solution for convenience:

Please make sure that you select the "C ++ / CLI Support" component in your installation;

• Run the "Visual Studio Installer"
• Change your installed VS;
• You can find the "C ++ / CLI Support" component under the "Developing Desktop Using C ++" workload
