cannot create new projects

I am using VS2015 Pro and just installed a licensed version of VM extension.

Every time I try to create a new project I get the following error.

Unable to create new sketch
The parameter is incorrect.(Exception from HRESULT:0x80070057(E_INVALIDARG))

I'd like to get this resolved so I can start learning to use this extension

Hi,

You need to have installed the C++ option during install of Visual Studio.

Open control panel>add or remove programs>visual studio>change>custom>C++

I have it installed. I can open a new project by going to file-new-project-Visual C++-Arduino Project but NOT the 
file-new-Arduino Project

Interesting.

The one that fails runs the standard visual studio "new empty c++ project" template. Please try to create a project directly via "File>New>Project>C++>Win32 Project". We just want to see a standard empty win32 c++ project.

Do you see the same error?

I reinstalled the C++ community tools and I'm good now
