Good afternoon, I am currently encountering this error when trying to create an ASP.NET Web Application (.Net Framework) project. And I tried this forum, but it didn't solve it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1380834/no-me-deja-crear-proyectos-asp-net-y-me-sale-el-er I already uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, what can I do? I attach evidence of the error, I am using the community version of Visual studio 2022 User's image

Hello, I created ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) project on the latest VS2022 Community version 17.8.6 without any errors. Could you update VS2022 and try again? Or you can try to save the project into another location. If you have any anti-virus or security management software, please temporarily disable them.

@Arjun YV, please create your own thread and do not hijack an existing, old thread. If the old thread has value then you can always link to it for reference.

I would recommend you follow option 4 in the other post where you run VS with /log and then look at the generated activity log file. You should also take a look at the Event Log in Windows to see if it recorded the error. Another thing to consider is that it may be one of your custom extensions that you have installed so disable any extensions you're using first, restart VS and try again. Note that this is similar to what /safemode does but I don't think you can create an ASP.NET project in safemode. Does this happen for non-ASP.NET projects? In other words can you create a class library or console app project?
