Hi,

There has been a flood of releases of Betas, RC1s and SP and it is quite natural that we get confused on what to install on what operating system and the requisites. 

Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 users

Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (Covers the Web Application Project, Web Deployment Project and other issues)

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RC ( Provides Microsoft Ajax Library, ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Controls and optional Control Toolkit, December CTP)

.NET Framework 3.0 (Provides runtime for WPF, WCF, WF & WCS)

Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (Building Workflow Enabled Applications using WF)

Windows Vista Users

Well, thats an exhaustive list.

The above links are direct download links and in case any of them doesnt work, I would recommend you to visit the following sites for the download link.

Microsoft Visual Developer Center for downloading the Visual Studio SP1 and related stuff.

ASP.NET AJAX Home Page for ASP.NET AJAX downloads.

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Community for .NET Framework 3.0 downloads.

All the above pages have links for respective downlods for the Express Editions also.

Thanks.

Nice.

This should bea sticky post.

Good compilation.

Thanks 

I have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Professional installed on Vista Business edition. I have also applied the SP1 Update for Vista.

Visual Studio now only allows me to create or open Web Application projects. The 'Web Site' project is not available.

 Is this normal?

Sorry, Dear I do not any idea about Vista.

Hi,

Do you mean to say the "Website" template is missing?

Did you check in "File - New - Website" option and check if the "ASP.NET Website" option is still there or missing?

Thanks.

Hi Guys!!!!

In my machine I have this same issue I can't understand how this hapenned!!!!

Today I was create a new Web Project and I was surprized when I couldn't see the the Web Site Template!!!

How can to fix this?

Perhaps installing the SP1 would solve this problem????

My O.S. is XP SP2

Thanks a lot !!!!

Hi Milhoranza,

Do you mean to say, when you select "File - New - Website" you are missing ASP.NET Website template?

Thanks. 

Same here, after installing VS 2005 and SP1, there is no longer a ASP.NET Website template in the File | new Website.  I only have an option for creating a WAP based website which is NOT what I want.  VERY INCONVENIENT, ANNOYING, ETC.  this is delaying me....anyone know how the hell to get it back into VS?

Same here. Windows XP and computer up-to-date. Anyone figure this out? Gonna continue my search.

If you have installed the Web Application Project template earlier before installing Visual Studio 2005 SP1, please uninstall the same before installing Visual Studio 2005 SP1.  Visual Studio 2005 SP1 comes bundled with the Web Applicaiton Project option.

For all those who are having issues reported in this thread, I would suggest an uninstallation of SP1, uninstallation of Web Application Project and then a reinstallation of Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

You can uninstall these from Control Panel - Add\Remove Programs

Write back if this doest solve the issue
