Workflow type projects are not opening in Visual Studio 2005 running at my desktop

HI,

I am using Windows Server 2003 SP1.

I have installed the Dot Net Frame work 3.0 at my system. Now after installing this i downloaded some sample projects on Workflow Foundation from Microsoft website.

When I open the project it shows me the following error message

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The project file 'D:\Softwares\WinFx SDK\Samples\Applications\OrderingStateMachine\VB\OrderWorkflows\OrderWorkflows.vbproj' cannot be opened.

The project type is not supported by this installation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please advise what I need to do to run the projects.

Thanks,

Have you installed the Windows Workflow Foundation Visual Studio Extensions Without the VS Extensions, you won't be able to open Workflow projects in Visual Studio.

You can download the extensions here:

If you do already have the extensions installed, and you're still running into that error, let us know!

Hi Nick,

I installed the extension and stoll got the error " project type is not supported by this installation". I checked and saw under C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0, there are quite a few dll belong to workflow such as System.Workflow.Activities.dll, System.Workflow.ComponentModel.dll, etc. I also reran the package and the setup seems to think I have everything installed because everything is checked.

Am I missing anything

Thanks

I manually removed <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\Windows Workflow Foundation\v3.0\Workflow.Targets" /> in my csproj and it still has the same problem :-((

Any idea what I should try next

Thanks

Having the same problem here. The extensions are installed and I'm trying to open the MOSS SQK workflow samples.
