I can't create a blank project. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, modified, uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, modified, uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, modified for over 96 hours and I still can't create a blank project. Oh... I also deleted Package Caches, the App Data/Microsoft/VS/14 folder and other temp files. Also tried stand-alone installers. Also tried lots of other time wasters...clearly irritated, but don't want to quit....
I have no idea what to look for since I'm installing this product for the first time.
