Templates need to have a specific WizardExtension element in order to be usable in GAT. The element must contain the following data:

<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" Type="Project" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005">
<TemplateData>
....
</TemplateData>
<TemplateContent>

<WizardExtension>
<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.60429.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly> <FullClassName>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.Templates.UnfoldTemplate</FullClassName>
</WizardExtension>
</VSTemplate>

Hi,

I have the same error. When I tried to enable the SCSF and click on OK button, I receive the follow error:

I have installed the CAB UI and Enterprise Libraries 2.0.... I'm using the Patterns and Practices DVD (October 2006) I got it from P&P Summit 2006 last week at Redmond.

I don't know if I'm missing something. I use VS2005 Standard Edition.

Hi credondo,

Have you modified the ModuleHandle.vstemplate template? Please post its contents here so we can take a better look at it.

thanks,
-Victor.

Hi Victor,

Sorry for my delay, I could install and ran the SCSF in other machine with no errors. I continue having this issuein my Home workstation... Below is the copy/paste of the ModuleHandle.vstemplate file.

<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" Type="Project">
<TemplateData>
<Name>Add Foundational Module</Name>
<Description>Creates a CAB module that exposes services and UI components.</Description>
<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
<ProjectSubType>
</ProjectSubType>
<SortOrder>1000</SortOrder>
<CreateNewFolder>true</CreateNewFolder>
<DefaultName>Module</DefaultName>
<ProvideDefaultName>true</ProvideDefaultName>
<LocationField>Enabled</LocationField>

</TemplateData>
<TemplateContent>
<Project TargetFileName="ModuleHandle.csproj" File="ModuleHandle.csproj.template" ReplaceParameters="true">
</Project>
</TemplateContent>
<WizardExtension>
<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.51206.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>
<FullClassName>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.Templates.UnfoldTemplate</FullClassName>
</WizardExtension>
<WizardData>
<Template xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-template"
SchemaVersion="1.0" Recipe="CreateFoundationalModule">
</Template>
</WizardData>
</VSTemplate>

Take a look at each .vstemplate file it's trying to call... Make sure the correct version of the Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio assembly is referenced... If the template calls multiple .vstemplate files be sure to read the error message Visual Studio gives you, as you fix them it will find other templates that may be referencing the wrong assembly version... Depending on what version you have installed the latest looks like below.. The older version is Version=1.0.51206.0...

Hope this helps....

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.60429.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

Hi credondo,

You're referencing an older version of GAT (December 05) in your template:

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.51206.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

You should be using the latest one (June 06):

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.60613.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

HTH,
-Victor.

I have got another error....

It says it can't open subproject 'Interface.Library' in the recipe framework.

Can you post the complete exception/error text?

thanks,

-Victor.

Oops Stupid me I started a new thread instead of replying.
