[wix-users] (Sorry but) I've been unable to find the WiX templates on Visual Studio 2008 for Windows Vista x64

Hello everyone!

So on my windows vista x64 virtual machine I installed WiX, then I
installed Visual Studio 2008 Full (I messed up the order I think), then I
tried to create a new wix project by opening visual studio, creating a new
project and looking for the WiX templates. I couldn't find them. Thus I
uninstalled WiX and re-installed it, still not there, so I tried rebooting,
but nothing changed.

I did a couple of quick google searches and found that others have reported
this issue in the past (at least on sites like stackoverflow and blogs),
and the steps they recommended on doing seemed to be solved in the... wix
targets? (I'm specifically referring to setting RunWixToolsOutOfProc to
true, which seems to be forced to true under x64 systems in the x86 MSBuild
WiX target files).

So I'm really clueless, what can I do to see the WiX templates on my Visual
Studio?

I'm sure that you people have the knowledge to solve it, if possible, any
hint would really be appreciated!

Thanks for the time and best regards.
