title: How do I create a WCF Service Library project in Visual Studio 2017?
body: <p>I need to develop an application for my distributed computing class, with one central server and multiple graphical clients. I was thinking of trying WCF for this, since I am already familiar with making .NET standalone desktop applications using Windows Forms or WPF.</p>
  
  <p>Since I have never worked with WCF before, I am trying to follow a tutorial posted on MSDN, which has <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731835(v=vs.110).aspx" rel="noreferrer">defining a service contract as its first major step</a>.* Part of this involves creating a <strong>WCF Service Library</strong> project, which is supposed to be available as a template under the language of my choice (I am going to use C# here). However, I do not see this project template listed as an option in the new project dialog, and looking for WCF in the search bar returns no results.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make this project template available for use in Visual Studio 2017?</p>
