Cannot create a Class Library Project in Visual Studio 2008

When开发者_开发知识库 I'm trying to add a new Class Library Project in Visual Studio 2008 I get this error:

After clicking OK this message appear:

And then an directory was created with properties folder and AssemblyInfo.cs file only.

1. What caused this problem?
2. How to fix it?

Edit: when creating the project as a new project I got this message instead the second one:

The error messages are hinting that components are missing or broken, and also the templates are missing some files. It seems like your installation of Visual Studio has become corrupt, try a repair or (in worst case) a complete reinstall of Visual Studio to fix this.

your install is probably corrupt. see
