  Rob,
  
  I have an issue with vs 2005 add ons for winfx. When I open an older project, which I don't want to convert, you cannot select cancel and work with the project as it was. Conversion is the only option. When .net 2.0 was brought out vs had a new version to go with it that could be installed along side 2003. Is there a way to disable the conversion wizard or to have two copies of vs 2005 on the same machine. One with win fx and one without. Sorry but the vista forums only deal with cider.
