The project templates are given by the Asset 
Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectTemplate defined in "c:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Rainer 
Schuetze\VisualD\1.2\extension.vsixmanifest"

Maybe there is a problem with the path using the short name "Progra~2" 
instead of "Program Files (x86)". If you change that you might have to 
force an update of the extension cache by modifying "c:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2022\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged".
