Hi,

I am running WSSF Extended Hands On Lab Exercise 1. Everything ran fine until the last step when I was about to register my package. ie. I failed in registering the BusinessEntityGuidancePackage. Here is the output from the Recipe Framework:

"Output window created.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Prof Edition and XP SP3. When I used Quick Register, I got a "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Recipe Framework\RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml'.
File name: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Recipe Framework\RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml'". I went inside the folder but only find the RecipeFramework9.0Exp.xml. I did a Google search but there is no such a file as RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml' online. What could be the problem?

Hi,

Are you downloading the code from this link ? :

http://www.codeplex.com/servicefactory/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=7847

If I am right, you have the code for VS2008, you don´t need to convert VS2005 examples to VS2008, because italready was converted.

You need to download the code from theExtending-HOL Source (VS2008).zip file.

Hi,

Remember that if you are using VS2008, sure you have installed VS2008 SDK 1.0 or 1.1, then you have the 9.0Exp.

The 8.0Exp corresponds to VS2005 (and VS2005 SDK).

I think that the project which you are editing was converted to VS2008, or you must install the VS2005 SDK.

If you install VS2005 SDK, you will had the 8.0Exp.

greetings

Thanks for your prompt reply Leandro! You are absolutely right, the project was converted when I opened it with VS2008. In fact, I have strongly doubt about this as a source of the problem. Then I fell back: how come a project can work on VS2005 but not VS2008? Remember this is THE sample project recommended by the P&P team. So, what should I do to make it work on VS2008? I have tried changing the name from the RecipeFramework9.0Exp.xml to RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml, wondering that I could fool the machine. But the same feedback. There is no RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml online according to Google, indicating that RecipeFramework8.0Exp.xml could only exists in binary format within the package.

I believe this is going to be the most common problem anyone using VS2008 will encounter, since the sample is a "THE Project". Perhaps it deserves some attention from the P&P team. Any help?

Thanks,

Jeff

Just back from Chinese new year vacation. Good Grief! How could I have chosen the other version, I must have had been in the massive download mode. Thanks Leandro! Happy New year!
