Cant' install "Guidance Automation Extensions" ...


I downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C0A394C0-5EEB-47C4-9F7B-71E51866A7ED&displaylang=en

However, when I installed it, this error came out:

Could not find file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.InstallState"


This file is supposed to be inside the installation package Hmm <img src=" />. I tried to find around but it seemed that there's not much support for it.

Any help will be appreciated. I'm desperated wanting to use it Tongue Tied <img src=" />

Unfortunately we couldn't repro this problem.
Can you try with a different machine? (maybe a VPC?)

What version of VS do you have?
Did you have GAT/GAX installed previously?

I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2.

This is the first time I downloaded GAT. Haven't installed before that Sad Tongue Tied

That file is created automatically by the .NET installutil execution. It should work.
Are you an admin on the machine?

Yeah, I logged as admin privilege. But the problem still remain ... Sad

I had a very simmilar problem.

I made the "Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Action"

However I got the same problem if I did not also connect the "Primary Output from OpenWeb" to Custom Actions INSTALL.

If I did this once! and compiled the problem disapeared and I could remove the Primary Outputput from Install and only have the Commit.

Hi, what's your OS version? XP or Vista? in some cases running the cmd.exe especifcally as an adminsitrator (not the full session) fixes the problem. (right clicking on the icon and selecting run as... or run as Administrator in Vista case).

i know it's been way long and probably you already fixed it, but for the sake of the people that ends up in this forum i'm posting.

regards...
