The templates are updated in today's build 3.0.4130.
Thanks for the feedback John and others. In addition to fixing the VS2005
compatibility issues, I fixed the reference assembly inclusion and improved the
build and clean behavior. The MakeSfxCA step now runs after the Compile step
but before the PostBuildEvent.
One note... if you created a project with the 3.0.4123 templates and want to
keep using that project with the newer wix.ca.targets, you should remove this
line from the bottom of your project file:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" DependsOnTargets="PackCustomAction" />

I couldn't wait to try the project templates so I installed VS2008.
I am very happy with these but I do have a couple of improvements to request.
If these should be logged elsewhere, let me know.
First, it would be nice if I could specify a post-build step *after* the
MakeSfxCA step. In that way my post-build step can copy the CA target to
another location.
Second, Clean should clean up the *.CA.dll as well.
Both of these can be accomplished by hand editing the csproj file (or manually
doing the operations), but of course if you can do it within the project
template, that would save a bit of effort.
These tools are awesome! Thanks!

I tried it a few times but that doesn't seem to light up the project template

The templates were installed properly, but I think I know the problem: the
.vstemplate files are marked with a version that is too new for VS2005 to
recognize. They need to be version 2.0.0.<http://2.0.0.>
Can you try this... In notepad, VS, or any text editor, open each of the
.vstemplate files in the "Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
2005\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplatesCache\WiX\CustomAction*.zip\" directories, and
change line 2 from
<VSTemplate Version="3.0.0"
to
<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0"
Note since you're only changing the cache, those template files will get
overwritten next time 'devenv /setup' gets run. For a more permanent solution,
you can update those files in the zip files under
Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\WiX. (Or wait for the next build where I'll fix
this bug!)
Sorry... I mostly test with VS2008 here, so this slipped through. Other than
the version attribute, the template data is the same between VS2005 and VS2008.

Thanks Jason!
Attached is the install log and a screenshot of the dialog I am looking for the
custom action template. Am I looking in the right place?
I am sure it is something I am doing wrong, but if it is an issue with the
deployment, is it possible to add the templates manually?
Thanks so much for looking at this.

Can you share a verbose install log from installing WiX3.msi?
Please send it directly to me to avoid spamming the list with a large
attachment. I'll reply-all with what I find.

I am not seeing them in the 'Add New Project' dialog. Running VS 2k5.
Did I forget a step?
