    I have

    - visual studio pro version 8.0.50727-42 (RTM.050727-4200)
    - .NET 3.0 RC1
    - Windows SDK

    I checked the sdk documentation and downloaded the Blackjac demo .. i tried to open it with VS ... but it doesn't work .. it says .. the project type is not supported by this installation.

    Am i missing something

    If you can't wait several more days, I think you can install Orcas June CTP like that:
    msiexec /i vsextwfx.msi WRC_INSTALLED_OVERRIDE=1

    Nope, you should wait until some day near September 8th.

    thats all u need.. the demo should work...

    the extensions only help if you are planning to create a wpf project and develop something


  • Fabio Gouw

    yeah its the orcas extensions.... the currently available extensions are likely to work with RC1...
  • jshepler

    If you want to programme using WPF, you should install:
    Visual Studio 2005 RTM
    .NET Framework 3.0 RC1(WINFX Runtime Components)
    .NET Framework 3.O RC1 SDK(WINFX SDK)
    Orcas Extension for Visual Studio

    And, what's more, you need a good book:
    Programming Windows Presentation Foundation
