Commented Issue: VSSDK Assist doesn't work with SP1

I upgraded to VSSDK SP1 and VS2008 SP1... to find that VSSDKAssist and VSSDKShell no longer work!

I reinstalled everything last night and when I rebooted this morning, everything was working fine!

Commented Issue: Crash when running CreateCustomProject

Hi there,

I just noticed: since I am using a German WinXP, my programs are in "C:\Programme", not in "C:\Program Files". That's the reason for the failure I guess.

Sorry, this was sent way to fast... :-)

I am using the latest VSSDK Assist release on top of VS2008. When trying to create a custom project type I am receiving the following exception in the log:

Hi there,

COMMENTED ISSUE: VSX Assist doesn't work on VS2k8

PabloGaliano — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:35:10 GMT

I've been trying to use VSX Assist on VS2k8, the Guidance package works as usual, but when the solution is created none of the recipes run on it. Is anything wrong with the guidance?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: PabloGaliano **

Did you try to enable the GP manually using Tools/Guidance Package Manager?

CREATED ISSUE: Installation Error

MikeHanson — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:06:05 GMT

I get the following error when I try to install the March 2008 CTP

Error 1001: Unable to get installer types in the D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\VSSDKAssistInstaller.dll assembly. --> Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoadeExceptions property for more information.

Any ideas what the problem might be and how I can get it installed correctly.

Could you try the March 2008 CTP?. It should be fixed there.

COMMENTED ISSUE: Installer should NOT require VB to be installed

PabloGaliano — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 02:42:38 GMT

I had to modify the MSI with Orca to install.

Please, do not force me to install VB :P
Comments: ** Comment from web user: PabloGaliano **

VB is required because VSSDK Assist also install VB templates.
I will update the installer to add a feature tree...

COMMENTED ISSUE: Better notice that you have to compile before context menu item VSSDK Assist appears on project

PabloGaliano — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:00:21 GMT

This took me a long time to find out. I know, should hsve read the docs.

In the Usage wiki page you show the message:

Note: If it is a new VSIP Package Project, it must be compiled once to see the menus

Should be on home page, on last wizard screen when configuring a new VS Package, etc. Make it more clear!!
