While struggling to get all the links together and the correct version of all the
accessories to .NET 3.0 RC1 (as this is what BTS requires).
I wanted to develop Workflow based solutions as well and noticed my friend Paul
Andrew has read my mind in his post HERE
Here’s a snip:
-
Install
the .NET Framework 3.0 RC for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. This is not
required for Windows Vista since it already has the .NET Framework 3.0 but you do
need to ensure you are using the RC of Windows Vista to get the right build of
.NET Framework 3.0. -
Install
the Windows Vista RC SDK from which you get help documentation and SDK samples.
This install isn’t required for .NET Framework 3.0 development as you can view the SDK documentation and
access the SDK
samples online. -
Install
the Visual Studio “Orcas” CTP which includes tools for WPF and WCF. Of course
you must already have Visual Studio 2005 installed as this CTP adds to it. -
Install
the Visual Studio 2005 extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation. This is the
matching part to “Orcas” but for WF. If you aren’t planning to use WF then you don’t
need this, and if you aren’t planning to use WPF or WCF you don’t need “Orcas”. -
Install
the Expression Interactive Designer matching RC build. This is for creating WPF
user interfaces to be used with the “Orcas” tools in Visual Studio 2005. -
Install
the Hands on Labs for Windows Workflow Foundation.
I have a Windows Vista RC machine and a Windows XP machine which I’ve installed these
on. It’s also the same install on Windows Server 2003 if you use that as your development
environment.
