I am running vs.net 2005 on an updated XP SP2 system.

I just added the .Net 3.0 framework as well as the "Windows SDK for Windows
Vista" just fine.

I think I am supposed to add the two VS 2005 extensions for .Net Framework
3.0 for WWF and for WCF and WPF. Problem is I get an unspecified error
trying to install each of them and am merely allowed to report the problem
to MSFT but am not allowed to see the logs etc. and nothing gets installed
in add/remove programs.

If I run VS with just the SDK installed I can see that I am already able to
build projects for .Net Framework 3.0 for WCF and WPF so I am now wondering
if I should be installing the extensions that supposedly add these types of
projects. On the other hand I see nothing for a WWF project.

So...after installing the Vista SDK should one install the VS 2005
extensions??? Prereq says the SDK is necessary but doesn't specify the
version. The Vista SDK is V6.

Thanks,
