Important workaround for VS 2008 SDK July CTP for building VS Shell!

Yesterday, we released the VS 2008 SDK that targets the Beta 2 release of Visual Studio. You can read all the details on our team blog. One of the most exciting things about this release is the ability for customers to build the VS Shell (isolated mode). Unfortunately, there is a last minute bug that we found that caused the location of the VS Shell wizard to change. When you open the New Project dialog, the VS Shell is supposed to be under the "Extensibility" node. Due to this bug, we were forced to make it appear under the "Visual C++" node.

 

So for this release of the VS SDK, you should look for the VS Shell template under "Visual C++" !
