[wix-users] Visual Studio 2005

[Jon Earle]

So, there is a problem with that.  While it appears in VS2005, I cannot create any projects using those templates.  I get a dialog with:

Package Load Failure

Package "WiX Project Package" has failed to load properly ( GUID = {...} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. blah blah

Suggestions to fix this?

It appears that 3.7 is the last version to support VS2005 (last one, where there are wix project templates in File->New project).
