Visual Studio 2008 SP1 RTM Installation Quirk

After installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 RTM this morning, it seems that Windows Workflow Console Applications aren’t a supported project type anymore.

Just creating a new workflow console application (File > New > Project > Workflow > Sequential Workflow Console Application > OK) pops up the following:

Project types "Empty Workflow Project", "Sequential Workflow Library" and "Activity Workflow Library" yield an identical error box.

I found a couple forum posts saying to:

  1. Shut down Visual Studio 2008
  2. Execute "devenv.exe /setup" on the command line and wait until your disk stops grinding
  3. Restart Visual Studio 2008

After doing that everything works fine now.

Hope that helps someone! :)
