The template is not installed automatically regardless of your FeatureInstall property setting. To use the ApplyTemplate method for a template that is not currently installed, you first must install the additional design templates. To do so, install the Additional Design Templates for PowerPoint by running the Microsoft Office installation program (available through the Add/Remove Programs icon in Windows Control Panel).
