You need to use the right version of Visual Studio. CS6 SDK Wizard uses vc10 (Visual Studio 2010), CC 2015 SDK Wizard uses vc11 (Visual Studio 2012).

So you are using the CC 2015 Template in Visual Studio 2012 and you followed the instructions in the INSTALL.txt?
Do you have a full version of VS 2012 or the express version? If you have the full version you should have these files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0"
VC/VCWizards/IllustratorSDKdefault.vcxproj

VC/vcprojects/IllustratorSDK
VC/vcprojects/IllustratorSDK/IllustratorSDK.vsdir
VC/vcprojects/IllustratorSDK.vsz
I have Visual Studio 2012 Express so the vcprojects folder is called vcprojects_WDExpress.
There is an error in the IllustratorSDK.vsz file. The first line is:
VSWIZARD 8.0
Change this to
VSWIZARD 7.0
If I do this, it tries to create the project, but I get an error about an invalid call. This may be because I am using the express version. Let me know what happens for you.

Actually some problem in Visual studio 2012 so I am reinstalling it.
after that I will try which you suggest.
Earlier I was trying to configure CC 2015 Template in Visual Studio 2013 (given in INSTALL.txt) but It was giving error.
When I configure illstrator CS6 SDK with Visual Studio 2010 for testing purpose It works properly .
I will confirm you the result.

Are you doing this to update your AI_Plugin_Win32.aip plugin to use the CC 2015 SDK? If so then it is probably easiest to use the CS6 Wizard you have working in VS 2010. Just use the CC 2015 SDK samplecode folder as the location.

You said you can now create a new plugin project using VS 2010 and OP_Prepress has given you some code to set up the artboard so you should be able to get started.

What gave some error? Creating the plugin or the artboard code? If it is the artboard code, reply to OP_Prepress and say what error you are getting. Why are you working on this plugin? It seems you are totally out of your depth.

Sir I installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express ,
after that I follow all there steps
1. Copy IllustratorSDKdefault.vcxproj to <VS>\VC\VCWizards\.
2. Copy the folder <SDK>\samplecode\Templates\Win\IllustratorSDK\ to
<VS>\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\.
3. Copy the file IllustratorSDK.vsz to <VS>\VC\ vcprojects_WDExpress\.
4. Change VSWIZARD 8.0 this to VSWIZARD 7.0 in IllustratorSDK.vsz file.
5. Create a new folder <VS>\VC\vcprojects\IllustratorSDK\, and copy the folder
IllustratorSDK.vsdir into the new folder.
But I not got the Illustrator Sdk template inside the Templates in Visual studio 2013.

Use the CS6 Wizard you have working in VS 2010. Just use the CC 2015 SDK samplecode folder as the location.
