August 2006 CTP -- IronPython Web Site Project demo installation, Part Two

  • Article

You won't find the IronPython templates in the File/New Web Site dialog even after you've built or rebuilt the IronPython sample solution.  You must also install the templates by typing one of these commands from the VS command prompt:

>devenv /setup
>devenv /installvstemplates

The latter is much quicker.

The problem is that, for most samples, the build system only calls devenv /setup automatically if a .ctc file has been altered.  The order of project compilation is important, too.  If the templates project is built after the project containing the altered .ctc file, then devenv /setup will be called before the templates are available.

When in doubt, install the templates.
