VS Templates missing

I'm running VS 2010 Professional on Win7 Ultimate (VS 2008 is installed as well). After running the installer netduinosdk_32bit.exe, the Netduino templates won't show up in the "Micro Framework" category in VS's "New Project" dialog.
Very curious. Could you look in your "Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Micro Framework" directory and see if NetduinoApplication.zip is there?
If it isn't, is there a chance you could do a search on your hard drive for NetduinoApplication.zip to see where it is? And if the above directory doesn't exist, where is it located on your computer?
Since Netduino is open source (Apache 2.0 licensed), you can download the NetduinoApplication.zip file from the "Netduino SDK v4.1.0 Source" at http://www.netduino.com/downloads/ -- and then just drop it into the directory I mentioned above. The NetduinoApplication.zip file contains the NetduinoApplication template (source code), of course.
Does this take care of your needs?

P.S.
Some technical tips:
1. If it's not showing up, reboot your computer (to make sure that all instances of Visual Studio 2010 are shut down). See if it's there now.
2. You might be able to just open up the NetduinoApplication project inside the ZIP file to start any new project as well, or you could create a Micro Framework ConsoleApplication and tweak it accordingly.

Ah - got it. First of all, my Documents folder is a library that actually contains two folders. Each folder contains the template folders, and actually I found the NetduinoApplication.zip file in one of them. But the real solution was even more simple: for some reason, the user project template folder in VS 2010 was still set to the VS 2008 folder location. Seems the installer doesn't take the template folder location from VS 2010's settings, but assumes the default location.
Problem solved, thanks - I'm looking forward to receiving my Netduino from Canada...

The Netduino SDK installation program puts the Visual Studio template (NetduinoApplication.zip) in the incorrect folder. The correct folder is:
C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Visual Studio 10\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Micro Framework
It cost me several hours of installs/uninstalls/research. :-( Good now though. :-)
Sorry about that. We're working on a tweak to the installer which will detect the template folder instead of assuming the default. Glad you figured it out, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you build!

Now I have Blinky working. Next step: Figure out how to stop the blinking ... Hmmm ....
Sean,
Welcome to the Netduino community!
Two options to stop the blinking:
1. Run MFDeploy (from Start > All Programs > .NET Micro Framework SDK > Tools > MFDeploy.exe), select USB transport, and press ERASE.
2. Create another app and deploy; it will write over your current Netduino app.
