Hi, I've just installed Web Developer 2008 SP1 and ASP.NET MVC 1.0 RC2 via the MS web platform installer. It appears to have installed ok. However, when I try to create a new MVC Project, I do not see ASP.NET MVC Web Application as a template choice. What am
I doing wrong here? Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't resolve the problem. It appears the installer put the templates here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 1.0 RC2\Temp MvcControllerItemTemplatev1.cs.zip MvcControllerItemTemplatev1.vb.zip MvcViewContentPageItemTemplatev1.cs.zip
MvcViewMasterPageItemTemplatev1.cs.zip MvcViewMasterPageItemTemplatev1.vb.zip MvcViewPageItemTemplatev1.cs.zip MvcViewPageItemTemplatev1.vb.zip MvcViewUserControlItemTemplatev1.cs.zip MvcViewUserControlItemTemplatev1.vb.zip MvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev1.cs.zip
MvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev1.vb.zip MvcWebApplicationTestProjectTemplatev1.cs.zip MvcWebApplicationTestProjectTemplatev1.vb.zip Do I need to unzip these into a VWD folder somewhere??
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the ASP.NET MVC RC2 solved the problem. The mvc template is now showing up for me. Not exactly sure what I did wrong here. I simply selected vwd, asp.net mvc, and sql server from the MS web platform installer. Perhaps vwd
needs to be installed first before asp.net mvc??
Yes, you must install MVC after VWD. When MVC is being installed, it needs to make some configuration changes in VWD to ensure that it becomes aware of the new templates. The temp folder that you mentioned under Program Files where MVC is installed, is used
as a staging ground from which the MVC templates are installed. The folder is used for both VS and VWD.
Great to hear that it's working now.

This is a pretty silly state of affairs and I am afraid this hasn't worked for me ... I already have VS 2008 Express sp1 installed and MVC 2 hasn't touched it ... is there a different version of MVC2 available which will touch it and should I also uninstall
vs2010 RC (separate machine)

Do you have VWD/VS installed in a non-default location?
If so, the solution is here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1519647.aspx
