Can't Create WPF Application

After many, many, many hours I finally got Visual C# Express Orcas to install, although I'm not sure it installed correctly. After rebooting my computer it tried to resume the setup but reported it could not find the "vs_setup.msi" file. Turns out there is no such file on the DVD I burned. There is however a "vs_setup.ms_" file - I'm assuming someone goofed in creating the DVD image.

So I ran setup again and this time it seemed to finish the installation process. So when I started it up and tried to create a WPF Application it complained it could not open

c:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\wevuzrl0.bbt\Temp\WPFApplication1.csproj

So I checked my files and

c:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\wevuzrl0.bbt

exists, but it's empty.

Has anyone else succeeded in getting this installed? Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try?

Solved the problem - apparently I was not the only one who forgot step 2.

I must say, the download page is really confusing. I'm sure Microsoft tried to make it foolproof, but you know what they say about foolproof.

Eclipse is way, way, way easier to install.

He is talking about step 2 right after the downloads.

It says:

Start developing today with WPF, the next generation of Windows applications. Select this additional component for your Express product

Hope you can get it working.
