Not sure what the problem is with mine I used Reflections to manually load the Assembly and get the version, mine reported this as the full name : "Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

I replaced that string and it still didn't work.

I just down loaded loaded the package tonight.

Why is it trying to load a VB template when I'm creatiing a C# project?

Here is my stack trace:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe BindingRecipe. Error was: Action FoundationalModuleRefVB failed to execute:

Hi Andrew,

This seems like a bug in the Smart Client Software Factory, please post it to their forums on codeplex. If you don't get a response from them, ping me again and I will contact that team directly.
