I am trying to use C++ module with TwinCAT 3 to explore its potential. However, I am stuck at the very beginning since I can´t create a new project. I get this when I try to create a new C++ item enter image description here I've followed the instructions on system requirements https://infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/tc3_c/126100789677070987.html&id=) and so installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Universal Window Platform and Desktop Development with C++, I downloaded and configured 'Windows Driver Kit', and I have TwinCAT 3 XAE (running on Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (shell)) installed.

I believe this has a simple explanation, but Iam not getting there. Has anybody had the same issue? Does anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

For the moment TwinCAT 3.1 cannot be integrated in Visual Studio 2019 and the Visual Studio 2013 Shell does not permit you to create TwinCAT 3 C++ modules. You need to have a Professional, Premium or Ultimate version for that.

So, I would advice you to install a Visual Studio 2017 Professional in order to develop TwinCAT 3 c++ modules.
