Problem getting started

I am trying out Windows Workflow Foundation on my VS 2005 Version 8.0.50727.7.

I created a new project using the C# Sequential workflow template.

When I try compiling, I got this warning message:
The "System.Workflow.ComponentModel.BuildTasks.CompileXomlTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly System.Workflow.ComponentModel, Version=1.0.00000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71530258abd56239. Method not found: 'System.Object Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.get_HostObject()'. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, and that the assembly and all its dependencies are available.

When I click on the workflow.xoml, I was not unable to view the designer. Instead, I got this message.
"The Designer loader has not been initialized yet. You may only call this method after initialization."

Anyone seen these errors?

Do I need to install the Windows Workflow Foundation Beta?

Thanks.

The next thing I tried was to install Windows Workflow Foundation Beta.

I was not able to install WWF beta directly without uninstalling the Workflow debugger.

Once the WWF beta was installed, my VS 2005 was not able to start any more.
'Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Anyone can help?

Tahoo,

Looks like you're using the RC build of VS 2005...the PDC bits are supported on the Beta2 (50215) build of VS.

See this thread for more info: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=88635

Let me know if you have any troubles getting started!
Thanks,
Arjun

Finally, reinstalled to VS 2005 Version 8.0.50215.44 (Beta2.050215-4400).
And installed Windows WorkFlow Foundation Beta.

And everything seems fine.

Time to explore.

Thanks.
