Visual Studio project template with custom wizard


I'm trying to create a custom wizard in a Visual Studio project template to open a new tab loading a web page with a getting started guide for the user of the template.

I've been following this guide: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185301.aspx

The problem I'm facing is this: screenshot of error message

This error message pops up when running the experimental instance and creating a new project using the template. I'm typing the error message here for search engines: Error: this template attempted to load component assembly 'SomeWizard, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=token'. For more information on this problem and how to enable this template, please see documentation on Customizing Project Templates.

I've reproduced the error in a GitHub repo here: https://github.com/eloekset/VSProjectTemplateWithWizard


Solution

  • Looking at your GitHub repo I can see a couple of issues:

    I forked your repo and refactored the code: https://github.com/karolikl/VSProjectTemplateWithWizard (remember to set SomeWizard as the startup project and set the Debug settings as you explained yourself on GitHub before running it)
