Hello,

I am using a community component for biztalk called "pipeline component wizard" (at http://www.codeplex.com/btsplcw). This is wizard that runs of VS (for a new project type) and generates a solution and a set of class library projects. This wizard does NOT use GAT/GAX, but I do have it installed. I'm getting an error in this wizard, in a call to

Solution.AddFromTemplate (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/envdte._solution.addfromtemplate(VS.80).aspx)

This help page states that "AddFromTemplate fails if the new project file name already exists in the destination."

The error is:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040402): Cannot create project. The project folder 'c:\helper\myprojects\" already exists and contains other files and folders.

Now, I looked at the folder structure created, and the only file there after the error is a myProject.gpState Xml file, from GAT or GAX (gpS = Guidance Package State).

I have GAT/GAX(and the WSSF) installed, in VSTS Dev.

Is there the possibility that Gat/Gax is the cause of this error? Is there anything I can do around this? The pipeline's code is pretty straightforward, and I suspect this error would occur even with very simple calls to AddFromTemplate.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

João Martins
