c# - Visual Studio 2013 > New project > unspecified error (exception from hresult: 0x80004005 (e_fail))

Question

Can anybody shed any light on the above error? I've tried with both Express and Ultimate editions of VS 2013.

I'm running 64-bit Windows 7.

Solutions to similar problems I've found tend to be targetting x86 rather than AnyCPU from the Solution explorer. However, I can't even build the solution to explore it.

The new project I'm trying to build is c# ASP.net MVC.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. On the PC I'm using, the Documents directory and it's contents are encrypted by default - including my IISExpress. Removing the encryption solved the problem.
