Once you have deployed all application templates you would like, restart IIS
iisreset
How To Implement Application Templates
- From the Site Actions drop-down menu in the top right, select Site Settings.
- Under the Site Administration section, select Sites and Workspaces.
- Select the Create button to create a new site using a site template.
- Fill in all appropriate information for the new site and in the Template Selection section, select the Application Templates tab, select the template to use for this site and click Create.
That should do the trick. A new site has been created. Now go ahead and play around with it.
Application Template Uninstall Walkthrough
This installation was simple. The uninstallation is just as straight forward.
- First and foremost you need to retract a solution (not allow SharePoint sites from using it)
stsadm –o retractsolution –name ApplicationTemplateCore
- To remove a solution from the server
stsadm –o deletesolution –name ApplicationTemplateCore
- The Application Template is now unavailable to SharePoint sites and the solution has been removed from the solution store.

You’re my hero…. I’ve spent all morning trying to follow instructions by MS that I haven’t been able to get to work, however your blog here made it so strait forward.
Thanks for taking the time to jot this down.
I’ll buy you a beer should you ever find yourself in Portland OR.

I have a similar issue to V.Venkat – I don’t see ‘application templates’ listed, however it has successfully deployed. Any ideas?
Tom said:
Just wanted to say thank you – I spent a few hours trying to follow Microsoft’s directions but to no avail, then I stumbled upon your site and was done in 10 minutes.
Thank you!
