We have had some common install problems with both CAT Accelerator 1.6 and CAT Accelerator 2.0. Will keep adding entries as we find issues and will migrate these through to a knowledge base in the future.
The main problems we have found:
1. Selecting Visual Basic instead of C#. CAT Accelerator 2.0 and 1.6 only has C# templates.
2. Selecting "Create Project..." instead of "Create Web Project...". This is critical as the templates only show up on Web Projects – not Web Applications. Note – future versions will support both approaches.
3. Having Visual Web Developer Express on the system. If both Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer Express are on the same system the templates are loaded into Visual Web Developer Express, not Visual Studio.
4. Visual Studio needs Resetting. Occasionally Visual Studio doesn't pick up successfully installed templates. The following procedure will fix this issue:
a. Make sure Visual Studio isn't running
b. From the Start Menu select Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 -> Visual Studio Tools
c. Run the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. Note that in Vista or later you will need to “Run As Administrator”.
d. In the command prompt type: devenv /setup This will take a few minutes to run and will reload the template cache. This generally fixes the issue.
Video to come shortly on installing and using CAT Accelerator - let us know any other issues you encounter. Keep that feedback coming.
