When you call AddFromTemplate, there is no need to explicitly create a new solution (such as with DTE.Solution.Create), because AddFromTemplate automatically creates a solution.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate method always returns null. In order to retrieve the added ProjectItem, you can interate through the ProjectItems collection, or use the ProjectItemEvents.ItemAdded event.
