Astoria CTP for Visual Studio 2008 is here

We got many emails lately asking whether we were going to ship a version of the Astoria CTP that would work with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 and the ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 2.

Well, it’s out now. You can read about it in the Astoria Team blog and download it from there.

Note that what we did was, for the most part, just port it to Beta 2. We didn’t include any of the production code work that we’ve been doing all this time. Once we’re ready we’ll drop the prototype code-base that we’ve been using for the CTPs and start shipping the real bits.

Give it a try and send any feedback you may have this way!

    Thanks a bunch for this Pablo - I'd accidentally installed Astoria Beta 1 over VS2008 and Entity Framework Beta2, not realising it wouldn't work! I was then not able to work with the Entity Framework at all because of the Package Load Failure problem, so I was waiting on this update of Astoria I'm really looking forward to working with it after watching the videos on Channel9 - it looks really exciting!

    Neal: If you installed Astoria May CTP by mistake, you can fix your setup by uninstalling Astoria May CTP, then uninstall the Entity Framework tools, and then re-install the tools and the new Astoria CTP. At that point everything should be working.

    Hi Pablo I've tried the steps you listed above, but am still getting the Package Load Failure problem. I've mailed Elisa about it (she had sent me a mail suggesting this approach after I mailed the ADO.NET team from the blog). The workaround does not seem to be working for me

    I tried uninstalling Astoria CTP 2 and Entity Framework 2, then went to the .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration. I found that the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.dll was still there - even though I had tried removing it with gacutil which said it wasn't there. After I removed it then reinstalled, everything appears to be working ok now.

    Neil: great to see that you found a way around the issue. Now that's working, let us now if you build something cool with Astoria...
