.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / April 2008"project creation failed" on VS2008, Server 2008
We have some wizards for VS2008 and they work well on XP, Vista. But on WIndows Server I get "project creation failed" and no files are created. Standard wizards (such as Win32 console project) work fine. Any suggestion on where to look for this? Hello Jan, According to your description, your Wizard failed on Creating Project in Windows Server 2008. But, it works fine on WinXP and Vista. If I misunderstood anything, please don't hesitate to correct me. Could you please let me know which kind of Wizard you are using? Is it developed by yourself? Or downloaded from Internet? Based on my experience, such problem could be caused by add-ins, have your VS.NET 2008 IDE installed any third-party's add-ins? You can disable them in Tools|Add-in Manager. After searching on internet, Peter has a blog mentioned he met a "Project Creation Failed" issue after installing the GAX(Guidance Automation Extensions). http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com/2007/10/visual-studio-2008-orcas-creatio n.html Did you install GAX on your win 2008 machine? Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any more concern. We are glad to assist you.

Hello Wen, I usually click on notify, but may have missed it this time. Hence slow reply. The link did not help as the term mentioned there does not occur in the config file. But further investigation has shown that the wizard also fails on Vista German. This is a wizard that creates a fairly standard VC project, encapsulated in our own project type.

Hello Jan, Thanks for your reply. I have cheked bug list. We haven't heard such issue so far. In order to figure out the root cause, I think it's necessary for me to reproduce the issue. Could you please send me a simple produced project if it's possible for you? I'm willing to drill into the problem. My email address is v-wywang@microsoft.com.

It looks as if the problem is caused by CUA on Vista: if I start VS2008 as admin, it all works fine. So I have to look at where the wizard or project package tries to read protected registry keys or file. Thanks for your efforts, Jan > Hello Jan, > Thanks for your reply.

According to another post titled "Vs2005, 2008 and Vista", it seems you found VS 2008 failed on open some registry key in Vista by procmon. Is it possible for you to send me your procmon trace log. This could help on researching very much. My email address is v-wywang@microsoft.com Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any more concern. We are glad to assist you.

Any suggestion on > where to look for this? 99.9999% of the time when you have a problem on Vista that does work on XP it's a security related problem. Instead of just running your wizard try right clicking it and selecting "Run as Administrator". If this solves the problem you should do some debugging to find out why non-admin users cannot run your wizard. You should look into having your wizard automatically prompt for elevation or you should remove the code that causes the security exceptions. Good luck!
