I thought I would get a dialogue going about Microsoft Trial SharePoint VPC. My new consulting company has me looking into it as a viable tools for proof of concepts and demoing purposes. Well, I have a few concerns. One, the VPC has a trial version of Visual Studio 2005, which the trial version does not install the templates for VS 2005 and does not have a command prompt for your use. Therefore, I try to install the templates for wss 3.0 but no templates are installed into VS 2005. So I can't build a web part(save for from scratch). I can't build a site definition or any of the like. I'm very discouraged by this discovery. I am currently attempting to get VSTA on the trial version to program with InfoPath 2007, but I am doubtful it will work... Please if anyone has attempted to use the trial vpc for such tasks and been successful or had the same luck as I have. Please post your comments here!
