Try to create the project on a shorter path. Seems Visual Studio runs into one of its inner limitations while processing the newly created project.

Hello

Seems you have discovered one of the VS 2017 bugs. MS claimed that this 259 chars path length limitation has been removed from VS, however this seems to be not true. Very long user name + long path used by VS for temp files reults in reaching this limitation.

I’ve reproduced the issue, and for me the following fix did help:

  1. Make sure that all VS 207 instances are closed
  2. Go to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\RemObjects Software\Data Abstract Templates\1.0\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Data Abstract or similar folder if you did install VS 2017 into a non-default location
  3. Rename the file DAWinFormsApplication.2012.Full.zip to WF.zip
  4. Open the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged with notepad and add any char to it (we need to change the date of this file so VS will know that it needs to reload all its extension packages)
  5. Start VS 2017 and wait for 1 minute

Now the template should work

Hope that helps
