Visual Studio 2005 Integration - Missing Item Choices

I've never used source control before so this is all new to me. I downloaded Vault 3.5.1 and have been trying it out, but I'm stuck

I had no problem enabling Visual Studio integration and adding an existing project to source control. Checkout and checkin work fine. But I'm missing the ability to add certain items to the source-controlled project.

If I try to Add New Item, I'm missing many of the template choices such as Web Content Form, Interface, Generic Handler, Code File, DataSet, XSLT File, and several others.

It's definitely related to the fact that the project is under source control because I have all of the choices when I open a project that is not under source control. What am I missing?

I managed to repair the problem by running:
devenv /installvstemplates

I removed the original project that caused the problem from source control and readded it, I now have all New Item options. I've added other projects to source control they seem to be working fine.

I'm not really sure what went wrong though. Only that single project was screwed up and I attributed it to the source control, but it seems that it was something else.

Thanks for the update. This happens from time to time with Visual Studio installations, but it's not clear what causes it.
