That's my way getting the templates working: System WinXP, VS2005, .Net 2.0 only (no 3.0 or 3.5) 1. Changing the version to 2.0.0 in zip files under Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\WiX\ 2. running devenv.exe /setup -> Templeates showed up. 3. removing all "$targetframeworkversion$" occurrences from - customaction.vbproj - customaction.csproj - customaction.cs 4. changed MSBuildToolsPath to MSBuildBinPath 3 and 4 were done in TemplatesCache, but could be also done in zip files. I think the best way to handle the templates should be to provide two separate sets for VS2005 and 2008. I think using Version 2.0.0 indicates that the $targetframeworkversion$ variable could not be handled correctly. So this will be a inconsistency. hth Dominik -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wix-3.0.4123-custom-action-templates-tp17478662p17509128.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
