title: C++ New File Issue in Visual Studio Express 2015
body: <p>I have a peculiar issue in Visual Studio Express 2015.  I am trying to create a new empty Win32 Console Application project in Visual C++.  I can create a new project, clear the check boxes for precompiled headers and SDL checks as well as check the box for "Empty Project".  The project is created, but when I go to add a new item to my source files, I have nothing to choose from under "Installed".  Under previous versions, I could choose a new blank C++ (.cpp) file or a Header (.h) file.  I can create new .vb files under Visual Basic and new .cs files under C#, but the "Add" button is grayed out when I try to create a new C++ file.  Anybody got any ideas?  I've installed this on three different computers with the same results (Windows 7 OS on all 3).  I've attached a screenshot of the Add new item dialog.</p>
