The installer log says

2/17/2015 9:18:35 AM - Install to Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2013 completed successfully. The extension has been installed to \

I believe this is part of the problem, it is installing in per user mode, but as the user needs to be elevated it is not installing to the current user

Hi Mike, 

I know you said email but looking at the log there is nothing compromising it in...

Other log files say the same or Not supposed to check for updates, which is why I guess that it's intermittent that I've been getting this update as it has a 3 day interval.

Hi Bob,

The log file is generated at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp.

I think I've figured out some of the issue from your request for the export...

I re-ran visual studio as administrator (it is a separate account) and the template is there in extensions.

I've un-installed it and now rerun the platform installer, modify and added the template back in.

I still have the same issue and again the templates are not in user account extensions but do appear in administrators.

Which log files do I need to grab and where from.

It looks like the installer only installs the extensions into the elevated users registry rather than into my user.

Install process

• As user bob, non local administrator, start platform installer
• UAC prompts for admin credentials - which I provide (logging in as administrator)
• Install proceeds.
