Rob, What's the LOE for this effort? I have experience creating installers that register project and item templates as well as tweaking project templates. I've done a little bit of AddOn work but not much. The whole EnvDTE / VS SDK seemed really complicated to me. Is it just a few things that need to be tweaked here and there or is it a lot more?
I'd love to help, I just don't know if I could handle it. In this small community, I'm not sure how many people could. If we only had Justin back or DevDiv contributing so it could be built in I guess that ship has sailed. For everyone else, my advice would be to always keep your .NET projects and WiX projects in different solutions so you can port one to the next release and keep the other on an old but tried and true platform. That's how I roll.

I *highly* recommend you jump in and help write the code to add the support or do *something* to take some burden off the people who volunteer time on the WiX toolset before asking again. I say this because it's around the 2nd time of asking volunteers to do work for you without offering to help out in anyway that your requests actually start to *discourage* volunteers from working on the feature for you. If the feature gets done it's often in spite of repeated requests, not because of them. <smile/> PS: I know I went off on a rant about this same topic a week or so ago so I apologize to those of you that read the list regularly. To those of you that regularly answer questions here or write code/fix bugs and generally help make the WiX toolset better, thank you.
