Are you running a non-English version of VS? We have a known issue with installing into non-English versions and can provide you with a manual fix. Assuming you are running an English version of VS, the first thing to do is check in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs to see if there are two entries for LightSpeed there. If so please uninstall both and reinstall. Also, if you are on Vista or Win7, it is worth uninstalling and re-running the installer as admin. This shouldn't be necessary, but a couple of customers have reporting seeing issues after running the installer as non-admin. If this still doesn't help, can you look in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Data\1033 (change CSharp to VisualBasic if you are using VB) and check whether there is a file in there named LightSpeedModel.zip? (If you are on x64, you will need the Program Files (x86) directory.) If so, please open a Visual Studio command prompt and run devenv /installvstemplates. Note this may take a few minutes to run. You should then find the LightSpeedModel option in the Add New Item dialog under Data. If the zip file isn't there, or if reinstalling the templates doesn't help, please let us know. If you could advise us which OS and processor architecture you are on (e.g. Vista SP1 x86, Win7 RTM x64, etc.) then that would be useful. Also could you look in the IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\Data\1033 directory and let us know if it contains a *folder* named LightSpeedModel.zip and if so what that folder contains? Thanks! |

Hmm, strange, that all looks good. Could you send us a screenshot of your Add New Item dialog, with the Data tab selected please? (You can attach files to messages via the Options tab.) Has this worked previously on this machine? If so, did this problem
occur after upgrading LightSpeed? Can you remember from which version
and to which version (e.g. 2.2 RTM to 20090810 nightly build)? Or is
this the first time you've installed LightSpeed on this machine? As a workaround, and pending further diagnostics, could you try copying LightSpeedModel.zip (the zip file from ItemTemplates, NOT the folder from ItemTemplatesCache) to (My Documents)/Visual Studio 2008/Templates/Item Templates? If you do this (and restart VS), does the LightSpeed Model option appear in the Add Item dialog? (You will need to scroll down to My Templates to check -- this is where templates in My Documents are shown -- and if it appears it will probably be on the main page not the Data page.) Thanks for your help in resolving this! |

Sorry to hear about that - I have an exception report emailed automatically and it looks like something out of the bowels of Community Server. If you email it to me: jd@mindscape.co.nz Sorry about that - I'll look into it but email will be fastest for now. John-Daniel Trask |

Any thing on this? |

Hmm, I sent you an email a few days ago but maybe it got eaten by a spam filter. From your screenshots it looks like you’re trying to add a new project to your solution. LightSpeed does not provide a separate project template. Instead, you would create a C# or Visual Basic project, then add a LightSpeed model to that project using Add > New Item (Data tab). Hope this helps! |

Oh dear, that got a bit mangled. Here it is again: From your screenshots it looks like you're trying to add a new project to your solution. LightSpeed does not provide a separate project template. Instead, you would create a C# or Visual Basic project, then add a LightSpeed model to that project using Add > New Item (Data tab). Hope this helps! |
