VSTO Templates
-
I recently installed VSTO 2005 SE, I have Office 2003 Professional & VS 2005 Professional & only the Office 2003 AddIns show up in the project templates, no Word Document, Excel Spreadsheet templates, etc. Anybody know why? Any tips or pointers? As far as I can see I've done everything right & still no Templates - very frustrating. Thanks for any help.
But fortunately we have the nanny-state politicians who can step in to protect us poor stupid consumers, most of whom would not know a JVM from a frozen chicken. Bruce Pierson

I found the answer to my own question & thought I might as well share for the benefit of others. According to this blog post[^]: if you install VSTO 2005 SE on top of a clean VS 2005 Professional, you won't have the document-level templates. If you want to have them you need to have VS 2005 Team Suite/Team Edition or you need to install the previous version of VSTO: VSTO 2005. So VS 2005 Professional + VSTO 2005 + VSTO 2005 SE will give you the document-level templates! This really sucks as, according to this download[^], (x86): The original VSTO 2005 runtime is no longer available for download. Last sentence under "Additional Information". This gem doesn't appear on this download[^] which is the download you're brought to when you visit the VSTO 2005 Section[^] of the MSDN library. So it would appear that I'm basically screwed unless I can find the original VSTO 2005 runtime somewhere or shell out for Visual Studio Team Suite which is not a viable option for me as I only needed VSTO for a small contract role. Anyone have a copy of the runtime for me or point in the direction of a solution? I offered to do a workaround for the client using the Office 11 interop assemblies but the bloke was insistant on having it done with VSTO (even tho my approach would have used the same PIA's that VSTO uses). Again, thanks in advance & I hope the information I've gathered about this provides someone else with less headache than I've had to go through to get to this conclusion.
