I'm sure a simple issue to resolve however not sure where I've gone wrong.

After reviewing this

http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=14078&HighLight=1

I downloaded and did the following

1) In a VS2008 command prompt ( with VS2008 closed ) typed install.cmd after extracting files into a temp folder 2) Installation seemed successful 3) The LLBLGEN inner zip files e.g. DynamicDataLLBLGenProSelfServicingWebApplication.cs are present in the D:\applications\Development\Visual Studio\9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033 folder.

However when I do File -> New -> Project under Visual C# / Web I can't see any LLBLGEN projects only

a) Dynamic Data Entities Web Application b) Dynamic Data Web Application

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong so I can see these new project types?

You shouldn't UNPACK the zip files INSIDE the zip file, as stated in the readme.

Also: for some VS installations (this is my case) the templates are accessible after install at File -> NewProject -> VisualC# -> CSharp .

To fix this (as stayed in readme.txt) you should copy the zip template files manually or modify a little bit the Install.cmd file.

In my case, the destination folder should be "%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Web\1033\" (note the CSharp/Web instead of Web/CSharp).

The files aren't unzipped, sorry I missed the .zip off and meant the files such as DynamicDataLLBLGenProSelfServicingWebApplication.cs.zip are present in the folder

I've attached a screen shot of the folder.

(Edit) Thanks Daelmo that was the cause thanks

As I have faced something similar, a solution might be to open the VS command prompt in an Administartion mode (right click-> run as administrator).

And make sure to close all instances of VS before executing the install.cmd
