Didn't work.

Answer 1

I ran into this same error on VS2013.
Maybe this also works for vs2012

Run the NuGet.Tools.vsix.exe file under C:\Program Files (x86)\NuGet\Visual Studio 12
Start vs2013 again and you should be able to create the mvc project.

Answer 2

Downloading Asp.net & Web tools solved the problem.
AKA: Clicking "Get Everything in One Simple Install"

Answer 3

I run into this problem after installing ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2. I solved it running repair mode from Visual Studio 2012 installation setup.
