C++/WinRT project template is broken

See original GitHub issue

The C++/WinRT project template is broken in at least 2 spots:

/SharedContent/Templates/UWPSDKSampleCPP/UWPSDKSampleCPP.vstemplate references nonexistent and apparently unneeded Scenario{1,2}_ShortName.idl, but fails to reference Project.idl;
Even if 1. is addressed, when building a project generated by that template MainPage.g.cpp is reported missing.

I’m not quite familiar with C++/WinRT for UWP apps, and have been trying to fix it myself in vain.

I’ll update the installer batch file so it reminds you that these are for developing new samples, not for developing UWP apps in general. In other words, the intended audience for the batch file is people who contribute new samples to this repo.

Okay, fixed templates coming in next refresh. Thanks for pointing them out.
