I have the latest updates and patches installed on VS 2017. I have the updated Posh Tools for VS 2017 installed. This build is dated like a week ago.

When I try to install Posh Pro tools (v1.6.0) I get the error:

This extension cannot be installed because the following references are missing: PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio 2017

I JUST installed that thing.

Hey John. The Pro Tools are now part of the PoshTools package. No need to install a separate extension now.

[John McCrae]

Adam, thanks very much.

Link TextAdam, I am missing all the extra project items - forms, wpf, etc. Only the basic Module and Script objects show up under Create New PowerShell project. What am I missing?

[John McCrae]

ignore me. I'm a dork. When I add a new item to my project everything shows up.
