VS2010 Problem to install LS Extension Toolkit.

Question

Hi,

I have problem to install LS Extension Toolkit.

I run Microsoft.LightSwitch.Toolkit.vsix; but get error log file, see below.

I have installed VS2010 SP 1 (VS10sp1-KB983509.exe)

Also tried to install VsSDK_sfx.exe; but it tell me to install VS2010... :)

Any other suggestions?

Thank You, Rune

You may have downloaded the VS 2010 SDK (non-SP1 version). Try this: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21835.

Hi Justin,

I reinstalled VS2010 and it is working now...puh!

The best is to start all over and see if its works; it did! :)

Thank you Microsoft for letting me sit inside and in front of my computer this beautiful Sunday when I needed my well-deserved rest! :)

Thank you for your feedback.

Rune
