Trying to install Web Services Software Factory and I get this error:

Unable to get installer types in the c:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\ide\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.Practices.ServiceFactory.GuidancePackage.Installer.dll assembly.-->Unable to load one or more of the requested types

How do I fix this issue?

Thanks,

JJ

Resolved issue: Steps I had taken to rid error and install Web Service Factory - Dec 2007 Binary package

1. Uninstall All versions of Enterprise Library

2. Unistall Guidence Package Extensions

- If this complains take note of what assembly it is compaining about usually its asking to

uninstall another application.

- If you still have problems there is a xml file located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Recipe Framework\RecipeFramework.xml

Open this file in notepad and take note of the reference to <GuidancePackage> there will be a linelike this:

<GuidancePackage Name=”guidDD259E37_02BB_4b1c_9F14_737F534EEE22�?Version=�?.0�?Caption=”Smart Client Development(Custom)�?Description=”Smart Client Development�?Host=”VisualStudio�?Guid=”DD259E37-02BB-4b1c-9F14-737F534EEE22�?ConfigurationFile=”C:\Program Files\Microsoft SCSF\GuidancePkg\Source\SmartClientDevelopment\bin\Debug\\SmartClientDevelopment.xml�?Timestamp=�?32872331780000000�?/> *

Backup file first then delete this line from the xml file and save. *NOTE this line above is an example in your case it most likely will be different.

3. Go ahead and install the LATEST Guidence Package Extensions out onMicrosofts website.

4. Install the Web Service Factory - Dec 2007 Binary package.

You should be good to go.
