Hi. It needs some tasks to be performed to make your project visible in the new project dialog.

1. You need a Project Template based on your project file and it has to be copied into the proper Visual Studio directory. This directory can be determined by the following registry key: HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0VSTemplateProject -> UserFolder.

The basic Managed Project Framework examples about how to build a custom project type give detailed explanation of the way how can you construct your own distributable project template. Follow them.

2. You need some registry entries to tell the Visual Studio where your project template should be found. These are the followings:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudi9.0NewProjectTemplates..
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudi9.0Projects..

Analyse the existing registry content of other project types beneath these registry locations to explain its structure, and place your own project entries.
