VS 2017 Template errors

[GameBear]

So..
I recently updated to VS 2017. and after some problems managed to get my setup to work with sfml 2.4.2
BUT....
I tried to export my project as a template. seemed to work fine.
making a new project also seemed to work fine... right up until i tries to open any file.. they are not there....
They are in the solution explore, but not in the actual folders, trying to open them gives the message:
"The document cannot be opened. It has been renamed, deleted or moved"
Going to the project folder i find this to be true... it is empty...
So, i have to manually copy each cpp, h and dll file into the right folders...

anyone encountered this issue before?
and if... did you solve it and how? my google-fu does not bring much light to the issue

Since this sounds like a VS issue, you might get a better/faster answer on the Microsoft community sites or Stack Overflow.

What files are you talking about?

Indeed, I have also posted this on stackoverflow, and will copy the answer here (if one such shows itself )

In this case it's my cpp and h files. It's just my basic sfml setup:
main.cpp
Window.h, Window.cpp
Game.h and Game.cpp

Of course, it also does not copy my debug and release dlls but it has never done that for me..
