Solution to Problem Loading SCSF Package in Visual Studio 2005

 

Here’s the problem that was posted to Microsoft Forums: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1174573&SiteID=1

 

Here’s the solution we came up with…

 

After installing SCSF, all the template files (*.vstemplate) for the SCSF referenced the wrong version (1.0.51206.0) of the Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.dll

 

In order for the SCSF to function properly we needed to change this reference in all the *.vstemplate files under the following directories of the (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SCSF\GuidancePkg\bin\Templates\) :

 

SNAG-070131_145803

 

The .vstemplate files look like similar to the following XML.

 

The file we are showing is “ModuleHandle.vstemplate” from the “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SCSF\GuidancePkg\bin\Templates\Projects\Module\” directory.

 

You will need to change the highlighted code in the XML.:

 

<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" Type="Project">

      <TemplateData>

            <Name>Add Foundational Module</Name>

            <Description>Creates a CAB module that exposes services and UI components.</Description>

            <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>

            <ProjectSubType>

            </ProjectSubType>

            <SortOrder>1000</SortOrder>

            <CreateNewFolder>true</CreateNewFolder>

            <DefaultName>Module</DefaultName>

            <ProvideDefaultName>true</ProvideDefaultName>

            <LocationField>Enabled</LocationField>

            <EnableLocationBrowseButton>true</EnableLocationBrowseButton>

            <Icon>__TemplateIcon.ico</Icon>

      </TemplateData>

      <TemplateContent>

            <Project TargetFileName="ModuleHandle.csproj" File="ModuleHandle.csproj.template" ReplaceParameters="true">

            </Project>

      </TemplateContent>

      <WizardExtension>

            <Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.51206.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

            <FullClassName>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.Templates.UnfoldTemplate</FullClassName>

      </WizardExtension>

      <WizardData>

            <Template xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-template"

                  SchemaVersion="1.0" Recipe="CreateFoundationalModule">

            </Template>

      </WizardData>

</VSTemplate>

 

 

This line of code:

 

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.51206.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

 

Needs to change to:

 

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.60429.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>

 

 

Here’s the resulting change log from find and replace on a machine that couldn’t load the SCSF package.
