WM 6 SDK Install Issue: Common7IDEProjectTemplates?

If you are installing the WM 6 SDK on Windows Vista you may hit an error that blocks the installation. The error message is:

Could not access network location Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates

This issue is related to a Custom Action (VBScript) we were using to install the Project Templates for Visual Studio - Vista may be blocking VBScript (through security policy, for example) which then causes our installation to fail. If you log the SDK setup, you will see something like:

DEBUG: Error 2738: Could not access VBScript runtime for custom action

While we work on that for the SDK Refresh, here is a simple workaround that will allow you to install the SDKs:

  1. Click on Start / All Programs / Accessories;
  2. Right click on Command Prompt and click on Run as administrator;
  3. Click on Continue in the User Account Control pop-up;
  4. In the Command Prompt window run the following command: regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll
  5. Close the Command Prompt window and install the SDKs normally.

Please, let me know if that works for you (and yes, we don't like VBScript CAs anymore too! :-)

See you at MEDC 2007!

    If you are using 64bit Vista, make sure to run regsvr32 on WindowsSysWOW64 folder.
