Create a VSFO Word project does not work. Error is "The project cannot be created"

Answer 1

Hi @Islay Rodriguez , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Do you want to create a Word VSTO Add-in project in Visual Studio? 

Please view the document and check the following requirements:

Visual Studio 2017 or later with the Office/SharePoint development workload

The .NET Framework 4 or later

Microsoft Word 

If you install a supported version of Visual Studio, the .NET Framework, and Microsoft Office, but Office project templates either don't appear in the Visual Studio New Project dialog box, or you receive an error when you try to use one, check the following:

• Ensure that you have the Microsoft Office developer tools installed on your computer.

Office developer tools are an optional component of Visual Studio, but they are installed automatically along with Visual Studio. If you customize the Visual Studio installation by specifying which features to install, make sure that you choose Microsoft Office Developer Tools during setup to install the tools.

To make sure that these tools are installed, start the Visual Studio setup program, and choose the Modify button. Select the Microsoft Office Developer Tools check box, and then choose the Update button.

• Make sure that you're not running a version of Office that was delivered by Click-to-Run. See How to: Verify whether Outlook is a Click-to-Run application on a computer.
• Ensure that you're running only one version of Microsoft Office.

 

Sincerely,

Anna
