After adding the newest update to VS 2012 trying to a silverlight templated control to a project will produce an error, and not all relevant files will be created.
This is done on the following version of VS 2012
Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012
Version 11.0.51106.01 Update 1
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Create Silverlight application.
Choose: Add new item
Choose: Silverlight templated control
Choose: Add
System will prompt an error, See Actual Results.

The same procedure has been tested on a VS 2012 pre. update 1 without any problems, so it seems to be a probem related to the update.

An dialogbox shows an error mssage when trying to add a silverlight templated control.
The only file that gets added is the "templatedcontrol.cs" file.

Error message:(Which properly does not help!!)
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004005 (E_FAIL))

Following files should be created:

I have the given Exception from Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 when inserting a Silverlight Templated Control (Silverlight4 Project). Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL). VS is running on Windows 8.
A class file is added to the project but no template.

The problem still exists.

After seeing that visual state editing is not supported in VS 2012 Update 2 and now these problems are giving me some doubts about the usability of VS 2012 for Silverlight development. A pitty cause i like VS 2012 and in our company meanwhile we avoid installing VS 2010 on developer machines.
