Project templates missing in VS 2017 Pro after installing SDK

Catherine Chow

Hello,

We just installed the SP20 with hotfix1 SDK  and Visual Studio Pro. 2017

We can open an existing SDK project but the project templates aren't there when I try and create a new catalog project or add individual items (reports, queries,etc.) to an existing project.

We reviewed our installation files and the following warnings came up -
