title: Can't create new MVC5 project or any other ASP .NET projects in Visual Studio 2013
body: <p>When I attempt to create a new MVC5 project, I get a template selection dialog that doesn't load any options. I am unable to select a project type (ex. MVC, Web forms, Web API) and create the project.  </p>
  
  <p>It appears like this: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/OVLZfSj.png">http://i.imgur.com/OVLZfSj.png</a></p>
  
  <p>To produce this issue, I go to <strong>File -> New Project -> Visual C# -> Web -> ASP .NET Web Application</strong></p>
  
  <p>After clicking OK, the point where I select the ASP .NET project template I want just sits there empty. </p>
  
  <p>I am running Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 3 and have tried the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Safe mode</li>
  <li>Resetting Visual Studio</li>
  <li>Running devenv /installvstemplates</li>
  <li>Running Repair via Setup</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: This has been resolved for me by xinqui's response below. I deleted the following 3 files and am able to create new ASP .NET Web Application projects now!</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll</li>
  <li>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll</li>
  </ul>
