VS 2019 - Add New Project ... no listing for Advanced Installer?

I just purchased Advanced Installer Pro V17.9. I installed AI Pro v17.9 and registered.

In VS 2019 I used the Extension Manager and found and installed the VSIX for Advanced Installer. Restarted VS. No errors.

In my application solution, I followed the process documented https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... xt-vs.html ... and there is NO Advanced Installer project option to add??? Nothing listed?

Not a great start to a new Installer tool ... thoughts? I was hoping this would be simple and painless but so far not so much.

Cheers, Rob.

UPDATE:

I was able to solve the issue:

1. I needed to register AI with my license key
2. Restart VS 2019
