This turns out to be another version of the local cache refresh issue I blogged about recently. The issue was I had deleted a couple of team projects on my TFS server via the TFS Administration Console, but my local VS2010 copy did not know as the cache had not been refreshed. Unloading VS2010, reloading it so the local cache was refreshed and then the create new project works fine
