After installing Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 with Visual Studio 2012, I encountered an error when trying to “add a new item” in my Windows 8 Project.


Visual Studio 2012 No Template Information Found Error
No Visual studio template information found. See application log in Event viewer for more details

Solution:

  1. “devenv /installvstemplates”

  2. “devenv /resetsettings”
