Nice!

Thank you for the GAX update (i.e. no longer having to uninstall GAX to upgrade) and the uninstall work. These are huge and go a LONG way toward improving the deployment story of GAX.

Nice work guys!

I have uninstalled SCSF, GAT, GAX, Ent Lib, CAB, and VS 2005. I then installed VS 2008, CAB, Ent Lib, and GAX. When I tried to install GAT, I got an access denied error. If I try to install it again, I get a previous version already installed error, but no versions are installed. I don't know what I can do to get around this problem. I had problems before with VS 2005 when upgrading to new versions. I think the installation of SCSF and all of the supporting components should be simplified.

So is there a version of the WCSF that works with VS2008?

Or once I install this Feb2008 release of GAX and GAT, then install the June2007 WCSF, it would show up in VS2008 as a solution template?

After installing the Feb2008 release of GAX and GAT; I tried to install the June2007 release of wCSF.

The .msi failed with "Error 1001:Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

This happens during the step where its "Installing WebClientFactoryPackage"

My devbox only has VS2003 and VS2008 installed.

I used the Orca MSI Editor to get the WCSF to run without giving the error about requiring VS2005.

Anyone has a solution?

Tom,

I'm from a research team at Infosys and am writing a series of posts making a case for DSM and the Software Factory approach. Was just trying to give a new angle to the whole idea of "software reusability" based on that.. would like to hear your views on that. Here's the link.. http://infosysblogs.com/microsoft/2008/03/a_refactorability_approach_to.html#more

Some of my older posts in the series are here.. http://infosysblogs.com/microsoft/software_factory

Thanks.

Regarding the error:

The .msi failed with "Error 1001:Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

This happens during the step where its "Installing WebClientFactoryPackage"

Check that your antivirus is not blocking the windows installer (MSI). We have this problem with McAfee.

Everything appeared to install fine (much better than last time I tried playing with this HOT technology. Unfortunately on trying to do the equivalent Hello World thing (I think). I created a Guidance Package as per the sample, but when I come to create a solution from that package I get a silly null service provider not allowed! Now noone said anything about setting a service provider so where should that be done in and amongst all the myriad of recipes wizards and all other clever guidance automation kind of stuff?
