I have VS2005 installed on my machine, and I downloaded DonNetNuke StarterKit (ver.4). In documentation it is written, that I should execute the "DotNetNuke.vscontent" file. I`m doing this, then I select all 4 options, I`m clicking "finish" to install these 4 things, and then I get the following error:

Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist.  The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio.

I suppose that the problem is, that I should place these 5 files in some special directory. Am I correct? If so, where?

 

thank you in advance for help

typically it's a "my documents" folder issue. See http://dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/54208/scope/posts/Default.aspx for some suggestions and links.

I read everything and I still got no idea what may be wrong. I try to put these 5 files into MyDocuments folder but it gave the same error. Any idea what may be wrong?

 

thank you for help in advance

The problem is that when you try to install the starterkit, it assumes that a particular folder structure will exist. AFAIR it's C:\documents and settings\<username>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\Visual Web Developer\  . There were issues with the beta version of VWD not creating the correct structure, I'd suggest you look to see if you're missing folders, and try to create them.

I don`t know where exactly this folder Visual Web Developer should come from, but nevertheless, I`ve created it. This is full path: C:\Documents and Settings\Martinez Wielki\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\Visual Web Developer - and still I`m getting this error: Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist.  The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio.
