Ways to turn a project generated by ms guidance package template into a Clarius metafactory template?

Hi,

Is it possible to use a simple method to turn a project generated by ms guidance package project into a Clarius metafactory project? I think those context menu commands like "new action" etc provided by metafactory project handy.

A related question is,what are the main differences of thefunctionality set provided by just enabling the Clarius meta-package, and by creating a clarius project using the clarius project template?

Thanks/JohnX

Hi
Basically both project are quite similar, the Clarius SFT project is a cleanly -ready to use- version without any kind of samples (the default gax gp template creates a lot of samples). Regarding the creation itself, it has a useful wizard in where you can specify if you want to have one recipe or multiple recipe files, also if you want a wix setup project or a simple setup project or none, etc.

Besides the kind of project that you've created after that you can enable the SFT Metaguidance Package which have a set of useful recipes to create references, actions and other assets.

hth.
