Hey Sara,

I've been following to your blog for quite sometime now and definitely it has helped me discover lots of new things. Thanks for such wonderful posts. But, I'm not able find some of the features that you mention in these post, like this one, in Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition that I use. Are these specific to specific version of Visual Studio?

Thanks, Dina.

Duh. I didn't know you could export it. I was manually adding this to my template directory and zipping it.

And to think I only found this out two days ago... it's one of my little timesavers, though the setup time is minimal at best for the single project I created as a template, I think I did okay. What do you mean by tailoring the template placeholders? I'm pretty new to Visual Basic of any flavour.

Thanks for all your helpful tips! Do you have any guidance for creating a project template based on the Web Setup project?
