visual studio 2013 'add controller' missin

Question

I update the visual studio 2010 project to visual studio 2013. Then I want to ad a new controller. but there is no add Controller option.

But If I create a new project in 2013 it already have the add Controller option. So how to add the new Controller? something missing in web.config or missing reference?

Answer 1

I had problem with Add View and Add->Controller not showing up. My project type GUIDs were fine. What worked for me was uninstalling MVC and then reinstalling thru NuGet.

Answer 2

Combining the answers given at Reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio Asp.net MVC 5 Scaffolding extension

somebody came up with a solution which worked
