Installing Web Part Template to Visual Studio
Hi,
I have installed Visual Studio .NET 2005 on my computer. I want to develop sharepoint web parts via vs.net. So i have installed webpart template installer frommsdn too.
When i launch web part template setup, i get this error:
"Visual Studio .NET must be installed before you can install the Web Part Templates for Visual Studio .NET."
As i said, vs.net 2005 is installed on my system. Does web part template installer required vs.net 2003 or?
I need help.
Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem but i had installed VS 2003. After some minutes googling i found a solution. Webpart installer looks for two registry key value and this sometimes seems to be missing. I had this two keys with blank values.
The registry keys are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Registration\PIDKEY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Registration\Product-ID
After setting 'true' to both values, bingo! template got installed successfully.

Hope this will help you.

I guess, the above solution doesn't work for VS .Net 2005. I too face the same problem.The two fields ProductID and PIDKEY was filled with licensing values.
Any one found a work around for this ?

Not for me alas, I too Have tried all of the combinations offered with VS 2005 and the system insists Ms VS .NET studio needs to be installed. This is a bit tedious, it has to be said....
