Visual Studio 2005 Crashes after installing Extensions for Windows Sharepoint services

Visual Studio 2005 Crashes after installing Extensions for Windows Sharepoint services

  Joubin (or Anyone),

  Thanks for the post and I am seeing the same problems as you. First, can you give the complete workaround for getting the contents to appear in the SharePoint Solution tab Also did you have any luck with the 404 error Looking at my trace it looks as though it can't find the right webservice to perform this task. Any help would be great.

  System.Net.WebException

  The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)

  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)

  at Microsoft.SharePoint.Tools.SharePointSoapProxies.Sites.GetSiteTemplates(UInt32 LCID, Template[]& TemplateList)

  at Microsoft.SharePoint.Tools.IO.SiteDefinitionCollectionCreator.UpdateSolutionElement(ISiteDefinition siteDefinition)

  Thanks

  Josh

  I have the same problem, too. Doesn't matter if VS is installed on WinXP or W2k3-Server :(
  
  Any solution found for this problem

  I'm also having this problem on Windows XP. VS2005 crashes during installation of the extensions, even though I close it before running the installation.
  
  It would then crash when I tried viewing the SharePoint Solution tab in Project properties, though I kinda fixed that by copying the SharePoint assemblies into my GAC. But there is no option for "Deploy to URL" on the Debug tab.

  I couldn't find a solution quick enough. The VS.NET extension is still in CTP. I've resorted to creating a site definition manually.

  Hi... I have the extension running. Sorta...

  First off, the "SharePoint Solution" tab under the "Project Properties" didn't work. I found a workaround by placing a solution.xml file in the root of the project folder. I had to go through some more steps as well before it worked. Let me know if you're interested to know about the entire workaround.

  Second: And this is my issue. The project (Team Site) won't deploy properly even though it builds successfully. I get this error: "The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request"

  I appreciate anyone's feedback.

  Thanks,

  Joubin

  Hi, I had the same problem but have worked around the problem by running the development environment on a Win2003 server with WSS 3.0 installed. Havent found a way to make it work on a regular workstation yet.
