Create a new TypeScript project in Visual Studio

I just found the solution: Manual installation of the VS-Extension.

In some way, the VS-Extension is not getting installed. You can do it manually. There is a .vsix file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\0.8.0.0 called TypeScriptLanguageService.vsix.
Try to run this file. It should install the TypeScript extension.

If you are running an x86-based system, try to look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\0.8.0.0.

Worked for me. Now I can create TypeScript projects and it is listed in the Visual Studio extension list.

Note that the newer versions of TypeScript dropped the folder 0.8.0.0. You may find the .vsix file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript.
