title: Visual Studio 2008: How to install an item template
body: <p>I have created an Item Template using the "Export Template" wizard. I opened up the XML file and made a couple of minor changes, then rezipped the package. Then I checked the item template into source control so that everyone on the team can access it if they want.</p>
  
  <p>But for the life of me I can't get the template to show up under <em>My Templates</em> when I go to <em>Add->New Item</em>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried copying the zip file into every conceivable directory:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The template directories listed under <em>Tools->Projects and Solutions->General</em></li>
  <li>All the subfolders of these directories (i.e. /Visual C#/, /Visual Web Developer/ etc)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But nothing shows up. Has anyone else managed to distribute Item Templates to their team mates before?</p>
