Hello,

It has been a little rough going getting introduced to Vwg.  The first thing is you should make it obvious that the "with sources" packages require you to manually add assemblies, or else you won't be able to drag and drop components into a form.  After googling and finally figuring this out, I uninstalled the "with sources" and installed the one without sources.  Now am up and running using Pro on VS 2005 (yea). 

I have also successfully installed VWG_Professional_Studio_6.3.11_NET3.5.msi onto one Win 7 Ultimate (x86) machine.  However, when installing this onto another Win 7 Ultimate PC (this one is x64), it doesn't work.  When I try to create a Visual C# | Visual WebGUI | Visual WebGUI Application, I get the messagebox below (captured by typing Ctrl+C in the message box):

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The project file 'D:\Users\david\AppData\Local\Temp\nv3c5up2.hgt\Temp\WebGUIApplication3.csproj' cannot be opened.

The project type is not supported by this installation.
---------------------------
OK   Help  
---------------------------
 

The funny thing is the folder 'D:\Users\david\AppData\Local\Temp\nv3c5up2.hgt" was created, but I guess it had problems creating the rest of it.

I have uninstalled and re-installed VWG numerous times but to no avail.  I launched the .msi file from an elevated command prompt, so it did run elevated (since I saw there were issues with permissions in earlier posts).

Thanks,
David

Hello David,

Welcome to Visual WebGui.

I am glad you were able to resolve this issue.

We had an internal discussion on the subject a long time ago about what to do when a user does not have the Web Application projects installed.
I cannot remember why, as this was a long time ago, but we decided to display a warning on the installer window just before going ahead with the actual installation, stating that this important component is not installed and that the project templates will not be installed as a result of that.
This warning leaves it up to the user to decide if he/she wants to cancel the installation and install the Web Application Projects first, or continue the installation and not get the project templates.

I hope this helps.

Hello David,

This was already tested on VWG v6.3.11 on various OSs.
You probably missed it somehow before clicking on the Install button.

 I will check to see what we can do to make these warnings more noticeable for future installations.
