Create a WSS 3.0 or SharePoint 2007 project using Visual Studio 2010 beta 2

I have installed WSS 3.0 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on a Windows 2003 x86 VM and I am unable to create a Sharepoint Project. I keep getting the error below.

"A SharePoint server is not installed on this computer. A SharePoint server must be installed to work with SharePoint projects.

I am selecting C# .Net 3.5 as the .Net version and then I am trying to create a Empty SharePoint project. Why do I keep getting the error?

Solution

  • Corey is correct. You will only be able to use VS2010 to create workflows for SharePoint 2007. For all other development on SharePoint 2007 you should stick to VS 2005/2008 with WSPbuilder, STSDEV or VS SharePoint Extensions.
