Description:
When creating a new project in Visual Studio 2013 and hereby selecting the template Templates->MySQL->"MySQL Windows Forms Project" Visual Studio starts to create a new project and then crashes.

Version 4.5.51641

Installed Version: Professional

How to repeat:
Open Visual Studio 2013
Create new Project
Select Templates->Visual Basic->MySQL->MySQL Windows Forms Project

------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Visual Studio 2013
Create new Project
Select Templates->Visual C#->MySQL->MySQL Windows Forms Project

------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Visual Studio 2013
Create new Project
Select Templates->Visual BASIC->MySQL->MySQL ASP.NET MVC Project
------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Visual Studio 2013
Create new Project
Select Templates->Visual C#->MySQL->MySQL ASP.NET MVC Project

Suggested fix:
Don't know how templates work. Would be a great help though if we could immediately create a MySQL project from the template.

Visual Studio 2013 create new project screenshot.

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried to reproduce the issue at my end using Visual Studio 2013, MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.3 and EF Version : MySql.Data.Entity.EF6 (6.9.5.0) but Couldn't trace out any issue.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
