Trouble Installing Windows Workflow Extensions for Visual Studio?James Zimmerman1/20/2007

If you were like me and having bizarre trouble installing the Windows Workflow Foundation Extensions for Visual Studio on certain computers then this might just be your problem!

If you run the self extracting installer and don't get the WWF installer screen but instead the Windows SDK installer launches then you can copy the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation (EN).exe to a separate folder and run it from there. Since it had resided before in the same download folder as The SDK installer was, and every time it was run from there it invoked the SDK setup.exe which gives you options to fix the installation but no workflow related options.

After copying and running from a separate location the correct installer loaded and you should be able to install the WWF extensions.

Let me know of any other tricks you find with the CTPs!
