Can't Add View from Controller in VS 2015 : "There was an error running the selected code generator"
<p>I'm following a video tutorial where I'm required to create an empty <code>ASP.NET Web</code> Application with <code>MVC</code>, using <code>Visual Studio 2015</code>, being new to ASP.NET world, I'm following step by step.</p>
<p>I got my project created well, next step adding a View from an existing <code>Controller</code>, I got hit by a messagebox error saying :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Error :<br />
There was an error running the selected code generator:
'Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT:0x80004003(E_POINTER))'</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I Googled the problem, found similar issues, but none led to a clear solution, some similar problems were issued by anterior version of VisualStudio, but as I said none with a clear solution.</p>
<p>To clarify what I experienced, here's what I've done step by step :</p>
<p><strong>Chosen a ASP.NET Web Application :</strong></p>

<p>What's causing this problem and What is the solution for it ?</p>
<p><strong>Update :</strong></p>
<p>It turns out that even by trying to add the View manually I get the same error, adding a view is all ways impossible !</p>
