Thanks to AJ Mercer,

The application template included in the download for the dashboard became corrupt. I replaced them in the distribution files and I am attaching the zip file to this post. You can download it and place it under the following directory:

{DashboardInstall}/model/templates/apptemplate.zip

Just replace the old zip file and you should be ok. If not, just download the bundle again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
