1. Can't install the visual studio template?

   Make sure you already have the path named "Visual C++ Project" in your computer , it look like this:

    C:\Users\your_name\Documents\Visual Studio 12\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C++ Project
   

   See more #issue3.

   I am sorry for this template installer is very pool, all imporovements for this are welcome.
