title: How do I resolve a long running 'Creating project '-MSharp.Meta'...' dialog when creating a new Zebble for Xamarin - Cross Platform Solution project?
body: <p>Using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, I am trying to follow the video instructions for creating a new project found here: <a href="http://zebble.net/docs/creating-a-new-project" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://zebble.net/docs/creating-a-new-project</a></p>
  
  <p>I do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I ensure the Zebble extension is installed</li>
  <li>I click the start screen's 'New Project' link</li>
  <li>I select 'Zebble for Xamarin - Cross Platform Solution' as project type</li>
  <li>I name the project 'My application'</li>
  <li>I click the 'OK' button</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What happens next is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A small Microsoft Visual Studio dialog appears with the text 'Creating project '-MSharp.Meta'...' and a green loading bar that runs continuously and a Cancel button.</li>
  <li>I get a 'Microsoft Visual Studio is Busy' alert in my taskbar. It says that Visual Studio is waiting on an internal operation to complete.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In the video, the project appears to be created without this long running process.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I am running Visual Studio as Administrator.</p>
  
  <p>The following are version details of the Zebble extension I have installed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Date Installed: 4/6/2017</li>
  <li>Version: 3.96</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The following is the dialog that is continuosly running.</p>

  <p>Per Ali's comment, I enabled Visual Studio logging and pulled the following from ActivityLog.xml:</p>
